* fix(photon): override transitive CVEs in the sidecar deps
`npm audit` flagged 7 high-severity transitive CVEs (protobufjs code injection
GHSA-66ff-xgx4-vchm + outdated @opentelemetry OTLP exporters) pulled in via
spectrum-ts -> @photon-ai/otel. npm's suggested fix downgrades spectrum-ts to a
version that targets the decommissioned spectrum host, so instead pin patched
versions via `overrides` (protobufjs 8.6.1, @opentelemetry/* 0.218.0) without
touching spectrum-ts. `npm audit` -> 0; spectrum-ts + provider still import.
* fix(photon): harden the sidecar bridge + bound the dedup cache
- constant-time sidecar control-token comparison (was `!==`, timing-attackable).
- cap the control-channel request body (2 MiB) so a compromised local peer can't
OOM the sidecar.
- wrap the inbound gRPC stream consumer in a re-subscribe loop with capped
exponential backoff + jitter — if the async iterator throws/ends it would
otherwise stop inbound forever (the adapter dedupes any replay).
- add an unhandledRejection handler so a stray rejection logs instead of killing
the process.
- dedup cache (adapter) was a true bounded LRU only for expired entries; a burst
of unique ids within the window grew it without limit. Evict oldest at the cap.
* chore: add AUTHOR_MAP entry for PhilipAD
---------
Co-authored-by: PhilipAD <philipadsouza@gmail.com>
Adds three vitest cases for the recovery path: resume+retry on
"session not found", no-resume passthrough on other errors, and
no-resume when there is no stored session id. Also maps the
contributor's commit email in release.py AUTHOR_MAP.
Follow-up to the salvaged fallback-chain fix:
- Replace the hand-rolled fallback loader with the shared
hermes_cli.fallback_config.get_fallback_chain() helper so the TUI path
matches HermesCLI and gateway/run.py exactly: fallback_providers stays
first and keeps order, with distinct legacy fallback_model entries
merged in after (deduped). Previously the TUI loader picked one key OR
the other, diverging from CLI/gateway when both were set.
- Update the test to assert the merged canonical semantics.
- Add psionic73 to scripts/release.py AUTHOR_MAP (CI gate).
Photon now allowlists registered device clients on the device-code
endpoint; the old client_id "hermes-agent" is rejected with
400 invalid_client, breaking the entire login flow. Switch to Photon's
published "photon-cli" device client and send the standard scope.
Also validate the device-flow token against /api/auth/get-session and
/api/projects/ before persisting it, and extract token candidates from
every response shape Photon has used (access_token, accessToken,
data.*, set-auth-token header) so a token that authenticates the
session lookup but is rejected by the project API fails loudly at
login instead of 404ing downstream.
Verified live: request_device_code() now returns 200 + a valid
user_code where "hermes-agent" returned 400 invalid_client.
Salvaged from #34467 by @yanxue06.
hermes auth add openai-codex now creates an independent
manual:device_code pool entry per account instead of routing through
the singleton _save_codex_tokens save path, which collapsed every
added account into the latest login (the second add overwrote the
first account's singleton-mirrored device_code entry). This is the
add-path half of #39236; PR #39243 (already on this branch) fixes the
re-auth half.
manual:device_code entries refresh from their own token pair
(_sync_codex_entry_from_auth_store only adopts the singleton for
source=="device_code"), so they need no providers.openai-codex
shadow. Adding the first credential marks openai-codex active (the
singleton path did this implicitly) so the setup wizard's
get_active_provider() check still passes; subsequent adds leave the
active provider untouched.
Adds SOURCE_MANUAL_DEVICE_CODE constant and a regression test that two
distinct accounts keep distinct token pairs. Updates two existing add
tests to the pool-only behavior.

* feat(windows): enable dashboard chat tab via ConPTY (win_pty_bridge)
Add hermes_cli/win_pty_bridge.py — a pywinpty-backed drop-in for
PtyBridge with the same spawn/read/write/resize/close surface — and
wire it into the web_server PTY import block so Windows picks it up
instead of falling back to None.
pywinpty is already a declared win32 dependency (pyproject.toml).
The ConPTY read path runs inside run_in_executor so the event loop
is never blocked. Spawn/read/write/terminate call shapes are taken
directly from tools/process_registry.py which already exercises the
same pywinpty version.

* docs: remove WSL2-only caveat for dashboard chat tab
The chat pane now works on native Windows via the ConPTY bridge added
in the previous commit.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test(windows): cover ConPTY bridge + web_server platform-branched import
Companion to the bridge added in the previous commits. Verified live on
native Windows 11 (pywinpty 2.0.15) against `hermes dashboard`'s
`/api/pty` WebSocket: the spawned `hermes --tui` (node entry.js) renders
through ConPTY, resize escapes reach `setwinsize`, and closing the WS
reaps both the node child and the pywinpty agent with zero orphans.
tests/hermes_cli/test_win_pty_bridge.py
Mirrors the layout of the existing POSIX test_pty_bridge.py:
spawn/io/resize/close/env coverage against cmd.exe and python -c,
plus the cross-platform fallback surface (PtyUnavailableError, the
off-Windows `spawn -> raises PtyUnavailableError` guard, and the
load-bearing _clamp() helper that protects setwinsize from garbage
winsize values out of xterm.js).
tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server_pty_import.py
Asserts that web_server.PtyBridge resolves to WinPtyBridge on win32
and to the POSIX PtyBridge on POSIX, that PtyUnavailableError is the
matching class on each side (so isinstance checks in /api/pty's
spawn fallback path work), and a source-text check that pins the
platform-branched import shape so a future refactor can't quietly
collapse it back to a POSIX-only import.

On-disk vitest coverage for the auto-heapdump disk-safety guard: opt-in
gating (suppressed diagnostics-only path), truthy-spelling acceptance,
manual-trigger passthrough, and the retention prune. Test approach
adapted from #21780 (briandevans) and #21822 (LeonSGP43), reconciled to
the merged gate semantics. Maps alarcritty into AUTHOR_MAP for CI.
A one-off transient transport failure (streaming-close / incomplete
chunked read / 5xx / 408) on an auxiliary LLM call escalated straight to
provider/model fallback (or, for context compression, dropped the summary
and entered cooldown), even when an immediate retry on the same provider
would have succeeded.
Add a single same-target retry at the top of call_llm() and
async_call_llm() — before the existing except-chain — gated on a new
_is_transient_transport_error() that reuses the canonical
_is_connection_error() detector plus a 5xx/408 status check. A second
failure (or any non-transient error: auth, other 4xx, malformed payload)
falls through to first_err and the existing fallback handling unchanged.
This lives in call_llm so every auxiliary task (compression, memory flush,
title generation, session search, vision) shares one transient-retry
surface, rather than each caller re-implementing it. The context
compressor needs no change — it calls call_llm and inherits the retry; its
existing fallback-to-main path (#18458) now composes naturally (retry the
aux model once, then fall back to main only if the retry also fails).

eslint --fix (import sort + padding-line-between-statements) on sidebar/index.tsx
after cherry-picking @dangelo352's commits; add release.py AUTHOR_MAP entry so
CI doesn't block on the unmapped author email.
Salvage follow-up for PR #33221 — the cherry-picked commit is authored
under martin.alca@gmail.com (not the draixagent@gmail.com already mapped),
which would fail the CI author-attribution gate.
Replace the ACP-local prefix/suffix matcher + helper with a single
startswith() check against INTERRUPT_WAITING_FOR_MODEL_PREFIX, now
defined once in conversation_loop.py where the sentinel is produced.
Keeps the source of truth in one place so the guard cannot drift if
the status string changes. Net -17 LOC in server.py.
Also add lsaether to release.py AUTHOR_MAP.
The auxiliary Codex adapter maintained its own chat->Responses conversion
loop that forwarded every non-system message's role verbatim into
Responses input[]. When flush_memories()/compression replayed session
history containing assistant tool_calls + role=tool results, those tool
messages leaked into the request and the Responses API rejected them with
HTTP 400: Invalid value: 'tool'.
Route _CodexCompletionsAdapter.create() through the same shared converter
the main agent transport uses (_chat_messages_to_responses_input), so tool
calls become function_call items and tool results become function_call_output
items with a valid call_id. Single conversion path means no future drift.
Also remove the now-dead _convert_content_for_responses() helper — its only
caller was the private conversion loop this change deletes.

Desktop connected to a remote gateway can now attach images and PDFs and
display agent-written images. Previously the desktop passed a LOCAL file path
to image.attach; on a remote gateway that path doesn't exist, so the image was
silently dropped ("skipped unreadable path") and the vision model never saw it.
The reverse direction was also broken — images the agent wrote on the gateway
rendered as dead links in the remote client.
Gateway (tui_gateway/server.py):
- image.attach_bytes: base64 byte upload written into the gateway's own images
dir and queued via the existing native-image-attach pipeline. Magic-byte
extension sniffing, data-URL prefix + whitespace tolerance, 25 MB cap,
structured error codes. Accepts content_base64/filename (canonical) and
data/ext (older-desktop aliases).
- pdf.attach: renders each page to PNG via pdftoppm (poppler-utils) at 150 DPI
and queues the pages as images; 50 MB / 25-page caps. Accepts host path or
base64 upload.
- Shared helpers (_decode_attach_base64, _sniff_image_ext, _queue_attached_image)
so the two methods and the existing image.attach don't duplicate logic.
Gateway (hermes_cli/web_server.py):
- GET /api/media: returns a gateway-local image as a base64 data URL so remote
clients can display it. Auth-gated like every /api route, extension
allowlist + size cap, AND confined to the gateway's own media roots
(images/screenshots/cache, resolved symlink-safe) so an authed caller can't
read image-extension files anywhere on disk.
Desktop (apps/desktop):
- syncImageAttachmentsForSubmit uploads bytes via image.attach_bytes when the
connection mode is 'remote'; the local fast path is unchanged.
- media.ts gains isRemoteGateway() + gatewayMediaDataUrl(); directive-text and
markdown-text fetch images over /api/media in remote mode.
Consolidates the competing remote-media PRs (#38876, #40317, #21908, #39437)
into one coherent implementation, taking the strongest parts of each and adding
shared-helper cleanup plus the /api/media root-confinement hardening on top.
The per-profile gateway switching from #38876 is intentionally left out as a
separable feature. TUI file uploads (#40492) remain a separate surface.
Tested: 11 new tui_gateway tests + 5 /api/media endpoint tests + desktop
media.remote unit tests; full tui_gateway + web_server suites green (472
passed); tsc -b clean; E2E verified the full attach→disk→queue and
gateway-path→data-URL display round-trip plus the out-of-root security block.

SIMPLEX_ALLOWED_USERS silently denied every contact when operators
listed display names instead of numeric contactIds. The SimpleX UI
never surfaces the numeric id, so display names are what operators
naturally put in the env var. _is_user_authorized only compared
source.user_id (the contactId), so the allowlist never matched.
Expand check_ids to include source.user_name for the simplex platform,
mirroring the existing WhatsApp phone-LID aliasing pattern. Adds doc +
setup-prompt clarification and three regression tests.
Salvaged from PR #40393. Adds manishbyatroy to release.py AUTHOR_MAP.
Adds the AUTHOR_MAP entry for the #40403 salvage (model.default_headers
for custom OpenAI-compatible providers, fixes#40033) so contributor_audit
passes when the salvage PR lands.
Adds regression tests for the SSH cwd fix: local backend keeps
host-validated session cwd; non-local backend uses TERMINAL_CWD (or
terminal.cwd config) verbatim without host isdir() validation; sentinel
values fall back to session cwd.
Conflict resolution prefixes --workspace web before --silent (preserving
the Termux npm_workspace_args path); update test_cmd_update fixture to match.
Add zakame@zakame.net -> zakame mapping so CI author check passes.
- check-attribution: add chilltulpa@gmail.com -> TheGardenGallery to
AUTHOR_MAP in scripts/release.py (new external contributor via the
carried-over commits).
- ty: the dashboard back-compat test imported pytest but never used it,
tripping unresolved-import. Drop the dead import — tests are plain
functions driving the parser via subprocess, no pytest API needed.
Follow-up on the cherry-picked content-block fix. _extract_output_tail
(the live subagent overlay) still used crude str(content), which renders
a "[{'type': 'text'...}]" blob and — worse — mislabels a block-wrapped
"Error: ..." result as is_error=False. Route it through the same
_stringify_tool_content helper so error detection and previews work at
both consumer sites.
- delegate_tool.py: _extract_output_tail uses _stringify_tool_content
- tests: add _extract_output_tail content-block test (error detection +
clean preview)
- release.py: AUTHOR_MAP entry for randomsnowflake (CI gate)
The existing-message overflow split path in stream_consumer.run() sealed the
first chunk via _send_or_edit(chunk) (finalize=False) then reset _message_id
to None — so that chunk was never edited again and never received the adapter's
final rich-text pass. On Telegram, MarkdownV2 formatting is applied on the
finalize edit, so early split messages of a long multi-part streamed reply
rendered raw markdown (##, **bold**, code fences) while only the last chunk
rendered correctly.
Fix: seal the overflow chunk with finalize=True so it gets its final
formatting pass before _message_id is cleared.
Salvaged from #32609 (the streaming-format portion only; the PR's send_draft
parse_mode change is already superseded on main, and its media-roots change
conflicts with the current denylist + recency-window delivery model).
Follow-up to the salvaged #37727. That PR fixed the reactive recovery path
(classifier + post-failure shrinker) but left the PROACTIVE embed-time guard
in vision_tools byte-only — a tall small-byte screenshot (e.g. 1200x12000 at
0.06 MB) still baked into immutable history un-resized, relying on a failed
round-trip to trigger reactive shrink.
- vision_tools: add _image_exceeds_dimension() + _EMBED_MAX_DIMENSION (7900px);
the embed-time cap now fires on bytes OR pixels and passes max_dimension to
the resizer, so tall small-byte images are shrunk before they're embedded.
- vision_tools: best-effort lazy-install of Pillow (tool.vision) in the resize
ImportError fallback so the soft dep self-heals (respects allow_lazy_installs).
- error_classifier: add two more Anthropic dimension-cap wording variants.
- pyproject + lazy_deps: declare Pillow as the [vision] extra / tool.vision
lazy dep (it was undeclared everywhere; without it ALL resize recovery no-ops).
- tests: cover _image_exceeds_dimension (tall/small/edge/no-Pillow/corrupt).

* refactor(supermemory): session-level conversation ingest + kebab tool aliases
Salvaged from #32487 (by @MaheshtheDev), rebased onto current main.
- sync_turn now buffers cleaned turns; the full session is ingested once
at session end / switch / shutdown via the conversations endpoint
- ingest_conversation() accepts and forwards functional document metadata
(type, session_id, message_count, partial)
- register kebab-case tool aliases (supermemory-save/search/forget/profile)
alongside the snake_case names
- README + docs (EN/zh-Hans) updated for the simplified session model
Source/vendor-attribution removed per project policy (no telemetry):
dropped x-sm-source header, sm_source metadata, and sm_capture_mode tags.
Preserved the post-branch atomic_json_write(mode=0o600) hardening that the
PR's stale base had reverted. Updated provider tests for the new behavior
and added maheshthedev@gmail.com to release.py AUTHOR_MAP.

* feat(supermemory): restore x-sm-source for Spaces routing
Reinstates x-sm-source: hermes (SDK default_headers + conversations POST)
and sm_source: hermes document metadata. Per @Dhravya (Supermemory), this
is a functional routing key, not telemetry: it groups Hermes writes into a
dedicated "Hermes" Space in the Supermemory app so users can filter and
bulk-manage memories per source agent.
sm_capture_mode remains dropped (appears analytics-only; Spaces are routed
by sm_source) pending confirmation. Adds README note + a unit test covering
_merge_metadata sm_source stamping and legacy source->type migration.

* fix(desktop): critical fixes — attachments, IME composition, scroll, fetchJson
DC2: Pass attachments to onSubmit() on direct Enter submit and call
clearComposerAttachments(). Previously attachments were silently
dropped — only text was sent while attachment pills remained visible.
DH1: Add 'open' to ThinkingDisclosure ResizeObserver effect deps.
When the disclosure toggles, refs point to new DOM but the observer
wasn't reattached, breaking live-scroll preview after expand/collapse
and leaking detached DOM nodes.
DH3+DH4: Add composition tracking via composingRef (set by
compositionstart/compositionend). Guards handleEditorInput (skip
preedit state writes), handleEditorKeyDown (prefer composingRef over
unreliable isComposing), and form onSubmit (prevent IME Enter from
triggering submission). Fixes IME Enter message splitting and preedit
text leaking into app state on CJK input.
DH6: Add res.on('error', reject) to fetchJson response stream.
Without this, a TCP reset mid-transfer left the promise hanging forever,
freezing the desktop UI.
All TypeScript compiles cleanly.
* chore: add copii.list@gmail.com to AUTHOR_MAP (stremtec)
* fix(desktop): prevent scroll snap-back during streaming, atomic config writes
DH2: Defer pinToBottom() in useLayoutEffect to rAF so that browser
scroll/wheel events from the current frame are processed first.
Previously an immediate pinToBottom() could snap the viewport back
to bottom against the user's trackpad scroll-up intent during
streaming — the wheel event hadn't fired yet so stickyBottomRef was
still true.
DH7: Add writeFileAtomic() helper (write to .tmp then rename) and
use it in writeDesktopConnectionConfig, writeDesktopUpdateConfig,
and writeBootstrapMarker. Prevents partial writes on crash/power
loss that would corrupt JSON config files, requiring manual repair.
* fix(desktop): guard nativeTheme listener from duplicates, invalidate connection config cache
DM9: Guard nativeTheme.on('updated') with a one-shot flag so that
multiple createWindow() calls (e.g. macOS activate after all windows
closed) don't accumulate duplicate listeners on the process-wide
singleton.
DM3: Add mtime-based cache invalidation to readDesktopConnectionConfig.
Previously the cache was populated once and never invalidated — if an
external tool modified connection.json, the desktop ignored the change
until restart. Now re-reads when the file's mtime differs.
* fix(desktop): widen fetchJson res.on('error') to sibling fetch + sort JSX props
Follow-up to salvaged #38502:
- resourceBufferFromUrl had the same mid-stream-reset hang class as
fetchJson (req.on('error') present, res.on('error') missing). Add the
response-stream error handler so a TCP reset during body read rejects
instead of leaving the promise unsettled.
- Sort the new onComposition* JSX props to satisfy perfectionist/sort-jsx-props
(was an introduced eslint error in the composer).

`hermes mcp add --auth header` built `Authorization: Bearer ${MCP_X_API_KEY}`
and passed it straight to the discovery probe without interpolation, so the
probe sent the literal placeholder and auth-requiring servers (e.g. n8n)
returned 401. Runtime tool loading worked because `_load_mcp_config()`
interpolates, but the four CLI probe call sites (add/test/login/configure)
all used unresolved config.
Resolve `${ENV}` inside `_probe_single_server` via a new
`_resolve_mcp_server_config()` (load_hermes_dotenv + _interpolate_env_vars),
mirroring runtime loading. This covers all four call sites, not just add.
Also strip a leading `Bearer ` from pasted tokens before saving to
`MCP_*_API_KEY`, so a token pasted with the prefix doesn't produce
`Bearer Bearer <jwt>` (also a 401).
Reported with a precise root-cause analysis in #37792.

- Add @testing-library/dom to apps/desktop devDeps in package-lock.json
so npm ci validates against the manifest change (contributor left the
lockfile out of the PR intentionally).
- Removes stale 'peer: true' flags now that dom is an explicit devDep.
- AUTHOR_MAP: prostoandrei9@gmail.com -> vladkvlchk (CI author gate).
Follow-up to the salvaged contributor commit:
- Underscore→hyphen tolerance now emits a resolvable token. Previously
the detect set accepted the hyphenated variant but emit returned the
raw token, so '!set_home' produced '/set_home' which the dispatcher
could not resolve. Now emits '/set-home'. Aliases are left as-is — the
gateway dispatcher canonicalizes them itself.
- Fix dead skill-command branch: skill command keys are stored
slash-prefixed (e.g. '/arxiv') in get_skill_commands(), but the check
compared the bare token, so '!arxiv' never normalized. Now compares
the '/candidate' form, making skill aliases (e.g. !gif-search) work.
- Re-run bang normalization after Matrix reply-fallback stripping so a
quoted reply whose content is a bang command reaches command parity
with the slash form.
- Replace silent 'except Exception: pass' with logger.debug(exc_info=True).
- Add AUTHOR_MAP entry for @nepenth.
Tests: +5 (underscore-alias, skill-command branch, quoted-reply bang +
slash parity). 162 Matrix tests pass.
The check-attribution CI job on #37679 failed because the commit
author email nolan@0xvox.com (a local git config mistake on this
machine) is not in scripts/release.py AUTHOR_MAP. The commit
itself is now re-authored to fearvox1015@gmail.com, and this
follow-up adds the entry to AUTHOR_MAP so any future commits
authored from this email also pass the check.
Background-task (/background, /btw) result media now routes to the
type-specific sender — TTS clip → voice bubble, video → send_video,
image → send_image_file — instead of forcing everything through
send_document. Mirrors the streaming + kanban delivery paths and
reuses base.should_send_media_as_audio for the Telegram OGG nuance.

Follow-up to the salvaged terminalBackground commit:
- align the CSS-var fallback and type doc to the runtime default (#000000)
- revert web/package-lock.json to main (the original commit stripped peer
flags as an npm-version artifact, unrelated to the feature)
Salvages 8 distinct fixes from a batch of PRs by @kyssta-exe, reapplied
onto current main (original branches were stale) with a few refinements.
- cron(jobs.py): load_jobs() validates top-level JSON shape — a bare
list auto-repairs into the {"jobs": [...]} dict; scalars/null raise a
clear RuntimeError instead of an uncaught AttributeError that took
down the whole cron subsystem (#37065, closes#36867).
- web(web_server.py): close the per-action log file handle after Popen
so the parent stops leaking one fd per spawned action (#36843).
- web(web_server.py): DELETE /api/env returns 400 for invalid key names
instead of a misleading 500, mirroring PUT /api/env (#36840).
- gateway(gateway.py): read /proc/<pid>/cmdline inside a with-block so
the fd is released immediately instead of relying on GC (#36804).
- web-tools(web_tools.py): include "xai" in check_web_api_key() so a
configured X.AI web backend reports as available (#36802).
- compression(conversation_compression.py): mark the feasibility check
done only after it completes, and default the gate to "not checked"
if the attribute is missing (#36803).
- completion(completion.py): replace `ls` with directory globbing in the
generated bash/zsh/fish profile listers — handles names with spaces
and skips non-directory entries (#36806).
- terminal-tool(terminal_tool.py): drop a duplicate `import threading`
(#36808).
- claw(claw.py): the migrate recommendation now points at the real
`hermes gateway stop` command instead of the non-existent
`hermes stop` (#36795, #36796, closes#36771).
- tests: guard against a leaked HERMES_CRON_SESSION breaking gateway
approval tests — add it to the hermetic conftest unset list (root
cause, protects every test) and pop it in the affected test's
setup_method (#36796).

Extends the existing /undo command from a single in-memory exchange
removal into a full rewind: back up N user turns (default 1), soft-delete
the truncated rows in SessionDB (active=0, kept for audit, hidden from
re-prompts and search), notify memory providers, and prefill the composer
with the backed-up message text for editing — CLI and TUI.
Reuses the SessionDB rewind primitives, the on_session_switch(rewound=True)
memory hook, and the TUI command.dispatch prefill payload from SaguaroDev's
#21910 work, wired to /undo [N] instead of a separate /rewind picker.
- cli.py: undo_last(n, prefill) — in-memory truncate + SQLite soft-delete
+ agent surgery (system-prompt invalidate, flush-index reset) + memory
notify + editable buffer prefill; /undo dispatch parses optional count;
checkpoint-rollback caller passes prefill=False
- tui_gateway/server.py: command.dispatch undo branch (was rewind) parses
count, picks Nth-from-last user turn, clamps to oldest
- commands.py: /undo gains [N] args_hint
- tests: rename + expand TUI suite (multi-turn, clamp, invalid-count)
- release.py: AUTHOR_MAP entry for SaguaroDev

Adds nicsequenzy@gmail.com -> polnikale to AUTHOR_MAP so the
check-attribution gate passes for the Playwright headless_shell browser
discovery fix (#35717).
The targeted data-volume chown in stage2-hook.sh only covers hermes-owned
*subdirectories*; loose state files living directly under $HERMES_HOME
(auth.json, state.db, gateway.lock, gateway_state.json, …) are missed.
When created or rewritten by `docker exec <container> hermes …` (root
unless `-u` is passed) they land root-owned, and the unprivileged hermes
runtime then hits PermissionError on next startup, producing a gateway
restart loop.
Fix: reset ownership of an explicit allowlist of hermes-owned top-level
files on every boot. The list mirrors the top-level file entries of
hermes_cli.profile_distribution.USER_OWNED_EXCLUDE plus the runtime lock
files.
This uses a targeted allowlist rather than the originally-proposed blanket
`find $HERMES_HOME -maxdepth 1 -user root` sweep, preserving the
targeted-ownership contract from #19788 / PR #19795: a bind-mounted
$HERMES_HOME may contain host-owned files Hermes does not manage, and
those must never be chowned. Verified end-to-end: allowlisted root-owned
files are reset to hermes on restart while a non-allowlisted host file
keeps its root ownership.

Adds me@simontaggart.com → SiTaggart to AUTHOR_MAP so the
check-attribution gate passes for the docker_forward_env empty-secret
fix (#35583, fixes#35580).
* feat: better composer etc
* docs: add desktop and dashboard run instructions
* fix(desktop): address security scan findings
* fix(dashboard): resolve @nous-research/ui path under npm workspaces
The sync-assets prebuild step shelled out to 'cp -r
node_modules/@nous-research/ui/dist/fonts ...' with a path relative
to apps/dashboard/. That works only when the dep is installed
locally in the dashboard workspace, but 'npm install' at the repo
root (the documented setup — see apps/desktop/README.md) hoists
shared deps to the root node_modules under npm workspaces. The
relative cp then fails with 'No such file or directory', sync-assets
exits 1, the Vite build aborts, and 'hermes dashboard' surfaces a
generic 'Web UI build failed' message.
Replace the shell one-liner with scripts/sync-assets.cjs, which
walks up from the dashboard directory looking for node_modules/
@nous-research/ui — working in both the hoisted (workspaces) and
co-located (standalone) layouts. Also guards against a missing
dist/fonts or dist/assets with a clearer error pointing at a
rebuild of the UI package rather than silently copying nothing.
* feat(desktop): support connecting to a remote Hermes backend
Add HERMES_DESKTOP_REMOTE_URL and HERMES_DESKTOP_REMOTE_TOKEN env
vars that, when set, short-circuit the local-child spawn in
startHermes() and connect the Electron renderer to an already-
running 'hermes dashboard' server reachable over the network.
Motivating use case: WSL2 users who want to run the Hermes core
(agent loop, tools, filesystem access) inside their WSL
distribution while rendering the Electron GUI on native Windows.
Before this change, the desktop app always spawned a local Python
child on the same host as the renderer, which doesn't cross the
WSL/Windows boundary.
The remote path reuses waitForHermes() as a liveness probe
(/api/status is in the backend's public endpoint allowlist), so
the connection is only returned once the backend is actually
ready. WebSocket URL derivation picks ws:// or wss:// based on
the input scheme. URL validation rejects non-http(s) schemes and
requires both env vars together to avoid a half-configured
connection that would silently fall through to the spawn path.
No behaviour change when the env vars are unset — the default
local-spawn flow is untouched.
Typical usage:
# in WSL2
hermes dashboard --tui --no-open --host 0.0.0.0 --port 9119 --insecure
# on Windows
set HERMES_DESKTOP_REMOTE_URL=http://localhost:9119
set HERMES_DESKTOP_REMOTE_TOKEN=<session token>
set HERMES_DESKTOP_IGNORE_EXISTING=1
(launch Hermes desktop)
* ci(desktop): automate desktop releases
Add GitHub Actions release channels for signed desktop installers and document the stable/nightly download paths.
* feat: file tabs
* refactor(desktop): tighten right-rail tab close API
Promote closeRightRailTab/closeActiveRightRailTab as the single
public entry point. Drops the activeTabRef + handleCloseDocument
indirection in ChatPreviewRail, the unused $rightRailHasContent
atom, and the legacy dismissFilePreviewTarget alias. -70 LOC.
* feat(desktop): polish composer pill toward reference look
Solid foreground-on-background send/voice-conversation circle (black-on-white
in light, white-on-black in dark) anchors the right edge as the primary CTA
instead of the orange theme primary. Bumps the primary control to 2.125rem so
it visually outranks the ghost mic/plus controls. Opens up the surface padding
(0.625rem x / 0.5rem y) so the input row breathes around its controls, and
nudges the corner radius from 20 to 24px for a slightly pill-ier silhouette.
LiquidGlass distortion is preserved.
* feat(desktop): add startup and onboarding flow
Add phase-based desktop boot progress, fresh-install sandbox testing, and first-run provider credential onboarding so packaged installs can start cleanly without manual settings detours.
* fix(desktop): gate prompts on provider setup
Show the desktop provider onboarding flow before prompt submission when no inference provider is configured, preventing fresh installs from falling through to backend credential errors.
* fix(desktop): surface provider onboarding from session warnings
Propagate credential warnings through session runtime info and open desktop onboarding whenever a session reports no usable provider, so unconfigured installs cannot fall through to prompt errors.
* fix(desktop): route gateway provider errors to onboarding
The "No inference provider configured" auth error reaches the renderer through gateway error events, not the prompt.submit promise; the previous patch only caught the latter, so the error toast still surfaced and onboarding never opened.
Also strip credential-shaped env vars from the test:desktop:fresh sandbox so the packaged backend can't see provider keys leaking from the launching shell.
* fix(desktop): use strict runtime check to drive onboarding
setup.status returned True whenever any provider auth state was discoverable, including indirect fallbacks like a gh-CLI Copilot token. That made desktop think the user was set up while the agent's actual resolve_runtime_provider call still raised AuthError, leaving the user with a useless toast and no onboarding.
Add a setup.runtime_check gateway method that runs the same resolver the agent uses on session creation, and switch the desktop onboarding overlay and prompt precheck to use it.
* feat(desktop): OAuth-first onboarding using existing dashboard provider API
Replace the engineer-flavored API key form with a Sign-in-first onboarding overlay that uses the dashboard's existing /api/providers/oauth catalog and PKCE/device-code endpoints (Anthropic, Nous, OpenAI Codex, etc.). API key entry is now a fallback tab with friendly provider names instead of env var prefixes, and the loud raw resolver error is gone in favor of a one-line welcome message.
* fix(desktop): polish onboarding provider list
Reorder OAuth providers so Nous Portal is first, give the segmented Sign in / API key control equal column widths, and replace the engineer-flavored backend names like "Anthropic (Claude API)" / "MiniMax (OAuth)" with friendlier in-app titles. External-CLI providers now show a softer subtitle and an external-link icon instead of a chevron.
* refactor(desktop): split onboarding overlay into store + view
Move the OAuth state machine, runtime check, copy-to-clipboard, and api-key save into store/onboarding.ts (matching the boot.ts pattern), leaving the overlay as a presentation layer that subscribes via useStore. Tabs are now table-driven, child panels read flow from the store instead of prop-drilling, and the polling/PKCE/error/success branches share a small Status atom.
* fix(desktop): external CLI providers + center mode tabs
External-CLI providers (Claude Code, Qwen Code) now open an in-overlay panel with the CLI command, copy button, and an "I've signed in" recheck instead of firing an invisible toast. Center the Sign in / API key tab control so it sits under the heading instead of hugging the left edge.
* fix(desktop): drop onboarding tabs for an inline link, group device-code waiting state
Replace the Sign in / API key tab pair with an "I have an API key" footer link under the OAuth provider list, with a "Back to sign in" affordance inside the API key form. Group the device-code "Waiting for you to authorize..." status next to the Cancel button so the alignment matches the action.
* refactor(desktop): tighten onboarding store + overlay
Drop the dead isOnboardingBusy/BUSY set, factor the catch-fallback dance into safeReq, and share a single reloadAndConnect helper between PKCE submit, device-code success, external recheck, and api-key save.
In the overlay, extract Step / CodeBlock / FlowFooter / CancelBtn / DocsLink atoms so the four sign-in panels share the same chrome instead of repeating it inline. Net effect: fewer literal divs, one place to touch the spacing, and the code-block + footer rows are reusable across future flows.
* fix(desktop): mount onboarding from frame 1 to kill the FOUT
Default onboarding.configured to null (unknown until the runtime check resolves) and have the onboarding overlay render whenever it's not yet confirmed true. The boot overlay now yields to it, so the very first paint is the Welcome card with a "While we get you set up..." progress strip instead of a flash of the chat shell between boot dismiss and onboarding mount.
The picker swaps in cleanly once the gateway opens and the runtime check confirms the user is not configured. Already-configured users see the same prep card briefly while their existing runtime warms up, then the overlay dismisses without touching the chat shell.
* fix(desktop): top-align empty sessions placeholder
The "Start a chat to build your history." empty state used a min-h-35 grid place-items-center container, which floated the text in a tall dead zone. Render it as a flat paragraph that sits right under the section header like the empty pinned state does.
* refactor(desktop): drop dead boot overlay
Onboarding overlay subsumes the boot card now that it mounts from frame 1 and renders boot progress inline. The standalone DesktopBootOverlay is unreachable in every flow (yields whenever onboarding has not confirmed configured, dismisses once it has).
* fix(desktop): hide pinned/recents sections until first session
A fresh sidebar showed the Pinned and Recent chats headers with floating empty-state copy underneath. Drop both sections (and the now-orphan SidebarEmptySessionState) when there are no sessions yet — they reappear after the first chat. Skeletons during initial load are unchanged.
* feat(gui): route embedded TUI through dashboard gateway (#21979)
Inject HERMES_TUI_GATEWAY_URL into dashboard PTY sessions so embedded ui-tui instances attach to the in-process websocket gateway, with coverage for the new env wiring.
* Add desktop remote gateway settings
Make the desktop gateway connection configurable from settings so local remains the default while remote backends can be saved, tested, and applied without environment variables.
* feat(gui): first-class Messaging page + gateway menu redesign
- Add Messaging page to the desktop app with per-platform setup,
status, and inline guidance. Catalog derives from gateway.config
Platform enum + plugin registry, so every messaging adapter the CLI
supports (Telegram, Discord, Slack, Mattermost, Matrix, WhatsApp,
Signal, BlueBubbles, Home Assistant, Email, SMS, DingTalk, Feishu,
WeCom, Weixin, QQ, Yuanbao, API server, Webhooks, plugins) shows up
without per-platform code.
- New REST endpoints: GET /api/messaging/platforms, PUT and POST
/test on the same path. Secrets go through the existing .env
pipeline; enable/disable writes config.yaml.
- Replace gateway statusbar dropdown with a richer panel: status row,
icon-only restart + system-panel actions, recent activity (with
timestamps trimmed in display, full text on hover), platform list.
- Auto-poll the messaging page every 6s (paused when hidden) so
status updates without a manual check.
- Drop Settings / Command Center from the sidebar nav (still
reachable via shortcuts and the titlebar cog).
- Flatten top corners on Messaging/Skills/Artifacts/Chat panes.
- Share new StatusDot component across messaging + gateway menu.
- Fix gateway/config.py so an explicit platforms.<name>.enabled=false
in config.yaml is honored when env tokens are present.
- pb-9 on the chat content area for breathing room above the composer.
* Potential fix for pull request finding 'CodeQL / Clear-text logging of sensitive information'
Co-authored-by: Copilot Autofix powered by AI <62310815+github-advanced-security[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
* pin electron version
* hide application menu on non-mac systems
* interpret compactPreview for non-string vlaues as JSON or an empty string
* fix(desktop): keep composer contenteditable mounted across stacked toggle
The composer rendered {input} inside two different parent fragments
depending on `stacked`. When auto-expand flipped `stacked` (e.g. the
moment typed text wrapped past two lines), React reconciled the two
branches as different positions and unmounted/remounted the
contenteditable. The fresh mount started empty, so any in-flight
characters — most reliably reproduced by holding a key — were lost.
Replace the conditional with a single CSS Grid whose template-areas
swap on `stacked`. The three children (menu, input, controls) keep
stable identities across the toggle; only their grid placement
changes, which the browser handles without React tearing down the
editor.
* refactor(desktop): align install layout with install.ps1 / install.sh
Make the desktop app's runtime layout match what scripts/install.ps1 and
scripts/install.sh produce, so a desktop-only user and a CLI-only user end
up with the same files in the same places and can share one install.
Layout
- ACTIVE_HERMES_ROOT = HERMES_HOME/hermes-agent (was: process.resourcesPath/hermes-agent, read-only)
- VENV_ROOT = HERMES_HOME/hermes-agent/venv (was: userData/hermes-runtime)
- desktop.log = HERMES_HOME/logs/desktop.log (was: userData/desktop.log)
- HERMES_HOME default: %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes on Windows, ~/.hermes elsewhere
The packaged .app/.exe still ships a read-only payload at
process.resourcesPath/hermes-agent (FACTORY_HERMES_ROOT). On first launch
or after an installer-driven upgrade we sync factory -> active, then
provision the venv and run pip install -e . against the active root.
Key behaviors
- Pin HERMES_HOME in the spawned Python's env so get_hermes_home() resolves
to the same path resolveHermesHome() picked. Without this, Python falls
back to ~/.hermes on every platform - fine on mac/linux, a split-state
bug on Windows where our default is %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes.
- Detect developer installs by .git presence at ACTIVE; never overwrite
a user's checkout via factory sync.
- Marker at ACTIVE/.hermes-desktop-runtime.json (schema v4) tracks
pyproject hash + factory version + runtime schema version. depsFresh
fast-paths when nothing changed.
- Dev (npm run dev) prefers SOURCE_REPO_ROOT over ACTIVE so devs run
their local edits, not whatever's under HERMES_HOME.
- Better error messages distinguish "no payload" from "no Python".
- Preserve a legacy ~/.hermes on Windows when no %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes
exists, so users with prior pip/manual installs aren't orphaned.
pyproject.toml
- Promote fastapi, uvicorn[standard], ptyprocess (non-Windows), and
pywinpty (Windows) to main dependencies. The dashboard backend
(hermes dashboard) needs them at runtime; the previous lazy-import
fallback was a footgun for fresh installs.
- Empty the [pty] optional-extra; kept as a no-op back-compat alias for
any existing pip install hermes-agent[pty] invocations.
Drops the hardcoded BUNDLED_RUNTIME_REQUIREMENTS list in main.cjs - the
desktop now installs whatever pyproject.toml says, single source of truth.
Files
- apps/desktop/electron/main.cjs: runtime layout, HERMES_HOME pin,
factory->active sync, marker v4
- apps/desktop/scripts/test-desktop.mjs: track new venv location
- apps/desktop/README.md: new Setup, Runtime Bootstrap, and
Debugging sections
- pyproject.toml: fastapi/uvicorn/pty backends in main
dependencies; [pty] extra emptied
Tested locally on Windows: npm run dev boots cleanly, sessions land at
the new location, type-check + lint + test:desktop:platforms all pass.
Verified end-to-end on a fresh Win11 VM via dist:win installer.
Known gaps (filed as follow-ups, not in this PR):
- Skills not seeded on packaged installs (sync_skills only runs in
cmd_chat, not cmd_dashboard). Need to move to shared pre-dispatch.
- Git Bash not bundled or detected; agent's terminal tool errors out
with a useful message but desktop bootstrapper should pre-flight it.
- install.ps1 / install.sh should be decomposed into composable phase
libraries so the desktop bootstrapper can reuse them as a single
source of truth across all install surfaces.
* feat(desktop): theme polish, prose chat typography, composer chrome
- DS tokens/midground, Backdrop, scoped scrollbars, typography plugin + prose
- Composer liquid/radius utilities, thread font parity, tool/thinking cues
- File tree label scale, preview flex, thread retry loading + streaming tests
* feat(desktop): NSIS prereq detection page + auto-install via winget
The packaged Windows installer now detects Python 3.11+ and Git for Windows
at install time and offers to install missing prereqs via winget. Mirrors
the prereq logic scripts/install.ps1 already runs for CLI installs, so
desktop installer users get the same out-of-the-box experience as
install.ps1 users.
Why
- Hermes' terminal tool calls bash.exe directly (tools/environments/
local.py); on Windows that's Git Bash from Git for Windows. Without it,
the agent fails on the first terminal() call.
- Hermes' Python runtime needs 3.11+. Without it, the desktop bootstrapper
errors out at venv creation.
- Both gaps surfaced on a fresh Windows 11 VM smoke test: VM had Python
pre-installed but no Git, so the agent's first terminal call failed
with "Git Bash isn't installed."
- install.ps1 has had Install-Git + Install-Uv functions for ages. The
desktop installer was the asymmetric outlier.
How — NSIS prereq page
- New file: apps/desktop/installer/prereq-check.nsh (plugged into
electron-builder via build.nsis.include)
- Real Wizard page using nsDialogs, inserted via customPageAfterChangeDir
hook (between the Directory page and InstFiles).
- Group boxes for Python and Git, each showing detection status.
- Pre-checked install checkboxes when winget is available.
- Auto-skips silently if both prereqs are already installed.
- Falls back to manual download URLs when winget itself is missing.
- Detection:
- Python: probes `py -3.11`/`-3.12`/`-3.13`/`-3.14` via the Python
launcher. Microsoft Store "Python stub" (no py.exe) is correctly
classified as not-installed.
- Git: `where git`.
- winget: `where winget` (Win10 1809+ / Win11 with App Installer).
- Install execution (in customInstall macro):
- Python: nsExec::ExecToLog with `--scope user --silent`. Per-user
install, no UAC prompt, output streams to install log.
- Git: ExecShellWait via Windows ShellExecute. Critical because Git
always installs per-machine and triggers UAC; ShellExecute preserves
the foreground focus chain across non-elevated → elevated process
spawns, so UAC actually comes to the foreground. nsExec::ExecToLog
breaks the chain because winget runs hidden.
- Both pass `--disable-interactivity --accept-package-agreements
--accept-source-agreements` to suppress winget's own dialogs.
- Verification: probes Git's standard install locations via FileExists
rather than `where git`. NSIS's process inherits PATH at startup, so
a freshly-installed Git won't be visible to `where` until restart.
- Silent installs (/S) skip the prompts; managed deploys handle prereqs
out-of-band via Group Policy / Intune.
How — Electron-side safety net
- New findGitBash() in main.cjs, parallel to findSystemPython(). Probes
the same locations as tools/environments/local.py:_find_bash() so a
positive result here means the agent's terminal tool will work.
- ensureRuntime now throws a clear, actionable error on Windows when Git
Bash isn't found, matching the existing "Python 3.11+ is required"
error path.
- Catches users the NSIS page doesn't: .msi installer users (NSIS prereq
page doesn't run for MSI), `npm run dev` users, manual installers,
anyone who unchecked the install boxes on the NSIS prereq page.
- All gated on `IS_WINDOWS`; macOS / Linux unaffected.
NSIS build issue (resolved)
- electron-builder defaults to `-WX` (warnings as errors). NSIS optimizer
emits "warning 6010: function not referenced" for our page functions
because Page custom directives don't count as references in its
static-analysis pass. The functions ARE called at runtime when NSIS
invokes the page; the optimizer just can't see it statically.
- Set `build.nsis.warningsAsErrors=false` in package.json so this
spurious warning doesn't fail the build. (Documented option from
electron-builder's nsisOptions.)
Out of scope (filed for future work)
- MSI prereq detection: Windows Installer custom actions are a different
mechanism. Enterprise deploys typically handle prereqs via GP/Intune.
- Bundle PortableGit + python-build-standalone in extraResources for
zero-network installs. ~80MB increase.
- Mac / Linux GUI prereq flows (different installer formats; Xcode CLT
covers most macOS prereqs already; Linux is per-distro hard).
Files
- apps/desktop/installer/prereq-check.nsh (new, ~290 lines NSIS)
- apps/desktop/package.json (build.nsis.include +
warningsAsErrors)
- apps/desktop/electron/main.cjs (findGitBash + preflight)
- apps/desktop/README.md (Runtime prerequisites
section)
Cross-platform impact
- macOS / Linux builds (dist:mac, dist:mac:dmg, dist:mac:zip): nsis
config is ignored entirely; .nsh is dormant.
- npm run dev: .nsh dormant; main.cjs preflight gated on IS_WINDOWS.
- scripts/install.ps1, scripts/install.sh: no reference to any new
files; CLI install paths untouched.
- Hermes CLI / dashboard / gateway: no reference; runtime untouched.
- All checks: node --check on main.cjs and test-desktop.mjs pass;
npm run test:desktop:platforms 4/4 passing; node --test green.
Tested
- npm run dist:win produces signed .exe and .msi without errors.
- Fresh Win11 VM (Python pre-installed, no Git): prereq page renders,
Python check shows detected, Git checkbox pre-checked. Click Next →
Git installs via winget with UAC prompt in foreground.
- After install completes, Hermes launches and the agent's terminal
tool can run bash commands. Verified Git Bash is detected at
`C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe` by ensureRuntime's preflight.
* feat: theme changes, composer tweaks, in app update ux, finesse
* fix(cli): seed bundled skills on dashboard + gateway entrypoints
`sync_skills(quiet=True)` was only being called from inside `cmd_chat`,
which meant `hermes dashboard` (the desktop GUI's backend) and `hermes
gateway` (Telegram/Discord/Slack/etc daemons) never seeded the bundled
skill library into ~/.hermes/skills/.
This surfaced as "No skills found" in the desktop GUI's skills panel on
fresh installs, despite the agent having access to the full bundled
library when invoked via `hermes chat`. scripts/install.ps1 worked
around it by running skills_sync.py as part of Copy-ConfigTemplates,
but that's not part of the desktop installer's bootstrap chain.
Fix
- Extract the skills-sync block from cmd_chat into a module-level
`_sync_bundled_skills_quietly()` helper.
- Call the helper from cmd_chat (preserving existing behavior),
cmd_dashboard (after the --status/--stop early-return paths and
fastapi import check, so we don't run skills_sync on management
commands or when deps aren't installed), and cmd_gateway.
Why these three entrypoints
- cmd_chat: the user's primary CLI entrypoint
- cmd_dashboard: the desktop GUI's backend; this is what `hermes
dashboard --tui` invokes when the desktop bootstrapper spawns Hermes
- cmd_gateway: long-running daemons where the user expects the agent
to have full skill access
Other entrypoints (cmd_config, cmd_doctor, cmd_login, cmd_status,
etc.) are management commands that don't need skill discovery and were
never running skills_sync in the first place — leaving them alone.
Idempotence
- tools/skills_sync.py is manifest-based: skipped skills cost
milliseconds. Calling it from multiple entrypoints adds no real
cost, and users running `hermes chat` then `hermes dashboard` get
two fast no-ops on the second call.
Failure handling
- Helper wraps skills_sync in try/except. Skills are an enhancement,
not a hard dependency — Hermes runs fine with an empty skills/ dir.
Files
- hermes_cli/main.py:
+ new helper `_sync_bundled_skills_quietly()` at module level
+ cmd_chat: replace inline block with helper call
+ cmd_dashboard: add helper call after fastapi import succeeds
+ cmd_gateway: add helper call before delegating to gateway_command
* feat(desktop): hoisted todo widget, JSON tool summaries, history grouping & timer fixes
- Hoist todo to first-class widget (shadcn checkboxes, brand colors, no
tool-accordion). Header derives label from active task; non-active rows fade.
- Replace raw JSON dumps with structured key/value summaries via
formatToolResultSummary; nested error extraction for clearer failures.
- Fix loaded-session grouping: stitch interleaved assistant/tool iterations
into one bubble instead of orphaned synthetic messages.
- Stable tool/thinking timers via keyed registry so unmount/scroll doesn't
reset elapsed counts; gate "running" on real live thread state.
- Reorganize chat-only assistant-ui components under components/chat/.
* fix(desktop): address CodeQL alerts on PR #20059
- settings/helpers.ts: harden setNested against prototype pollution.
POLLUTING_PATH_PARTS check is now applied at every assignment site
(loop + leaf) and uses Object.defineProperty so CodeQL can see the
guard inline rather than via a helper function call.
- lib/markdown-preprocess.ts: rebuild the dangling-fence close regex
from a fence-char + length instead of marker.replace(...). The marker
is captured by `(`{3,}|~{3,})` so it can only be backticks or tildes,
but CodeQL was tracing tainted input text into the RegExp source and
flagging hostname dots from input as part of the pattern (false
positive js/incomplete-hostname-regexp on the test fixture URLs).
Reconstructing from a literal char breaks the dataflow.
- scripts/notarize-artifact.cjs: drop args from the run() rejection
message. Args carry --key-id / --issuer / key file path; the existing
outer catch already squashes errors to a generic line, but CodeQL was
flagging the args.join(' ') as clear-text logging of APPLE_API_KEY_ID.
Composer DOM-text-as-HTML alerts (composer/index.tsx:379, :547) are
already addressed in 4dd9732a9 — innerHTML assignment was replaced with
renderComposerContents which builds DOM via replaceChildren / append
text nodes (no HTML interpretation).
* fix(desktop): inline prototype-pollution guard so CodeQL sees it
CodeQL's dataflow doesn't follow the helper-function guard inside
`safeSet`, so it kept flagging Object.defineProperty as prototype-
polluting. Inline the literal `__proto__`/`constructor`/`prototype`
check at the assignment site to break the dataflow.
Behavior unchanged — same set of disallowed keys, same throw.
* feat(ui-tui): resolve links to readable page titles
Mirror desktop pretty-link behavior in the TUI by resolving HTTP links to page titles with shared caching and safe fetch filters, plus slug-based fallbacks so chat links stay readable even when title fetch fails.
* fix(desktop): drop RegExp from dangling-fence close detection
Previous attempt tried to break the dataflow by reconstructing the
close-fence regex from a literal char + marker.length, but CodeQL still
traced marker.length back to input and kept flagging the test-fixture
URLs as hostname-regex sources (js/incomplete-hostname-regexp).
Replace `new RegExp(...)` + `closeRe.test(body)` with a string-only
hasCloseFenceLine() helper that splits on '\n' and uses ===. No regex
on this path now, so input data can no longer reach a RegExp source.
Behavior preserved: matches lines that are (whitespace + marker +
whitespace), which is what the original `\n[ \t]*${marker}[ \t]*(?=\n|$)`
matched. All 12 markdown-text tests still pass.
* fix(process-registry): suppress windows-footgun false positive on guarded killpg
Keep the existing POSIX-only process-group teardown path, but make the
signal selection explicit via getattr and add an inline windows-footgun
suppression marker on the guarded os.killpg line so the Windows footgun
check no longer blocks CI on this intentionally platform-gated code.
* feat(desktop): reconcile live tool events, polish thread chrome, harden boot
- chat-messages: match tool rows by overlapping query/context/preview values
so preview-first `tool.progress` rows reliably adopt later stable-id
`tool.start` payloads instead of spawning ghost rows or mis-merging
parallel same-name calls; preserve prior args/result across phases.
- tui_gateway: emit full args + parsed result on `tool.start` / `tool.complete`,
drop redundant `tool.started` re-emit from `tool.progress`.
- electron/main: prefer SOURCE_REPO_ROOT before PATH `hermes` in dev so
local backend edits actually run; split hardening helpers into
`electron/hardening.cjs` with tests.
- thread/tool UI: one-shot enter animation keyed by stable ids, braille
spinner for running rows, Cursor-like disclosure rows, drill-down +
duration/count formatting via new tool-fallback-model.
- composer: extract `text-utils`, drop liquid-glass overrides.
- right-rail: split preview-pane into preview-console / preview-file.
- runtime: incremental external-store runtime + runtime-readiness gate;
onboarding store + tests; route-resume hook test.
- regression tests for live tool reconciliation (parallel tools, id-less
progress, preview-first rows, structured args/results).
* feat(desktop): add ripgrep to NSIS prereq page + polish layout
Add ripgrep as a third (recommended) prereq alongside Python and Git in
the NSIS prereq detection page, and clean up the page layout based on
on-VM testing.
Why ripgrep
- Hermes' search_files tool calls `rg` directly for content + filename
search (tools/file_operations.py:1382). Falls back to grep/find from
Git Bash when missing — works but slower and noisier (no .gitignore
awareness).
- ~5MB winget install via `BurntSushi.ripgrep.MSVC --scope user` — no
UAC prompt, parallel to how Python installs.
- scripts/install.ps1 already installs ripgrep as part of
Install-SystemPackages; this brings the desktop installer to parity.
Why "recommended" not "required"
- Python and Git are hard requirements: without them the agent runtime
or terminal tool refuses to start. The bootstrapper preflight throws.
- ripgrep is a performance enhancement: missing it just means slower
searches. Page wording reflects this; failure to install is logged
but doesn't show a MessageBox or block.
Layout polish (response to on-VM screenshot review)
- Wizard header now correctly reads "System Requirements" instead of
the leftover "Choose Install Location" from the previous page. Set
via `GetDlgItem $HWNDPARENT 1037/1038` + WM_SETTEXT — the standard
NSIS pattern for overriding the page header on a custom Page.
- Removed redundant in-body title + verbose intro paragraph; the
wizard header IS the title now. Body has one short intro line.
- Group boxes tightened to 26u with content positioned just below the
groupbox title (not top-anchored status + bottom-anchored checkbox
with empty space in the middle). All three panels + footer fit
comfortably in 126u, well under the 140u page limit.
- Checkbox labels simplified: dropped "(per-user, no admin prompt)"
and "(administrator approval required)" suffixes. The footer note
still calls out UAC for Git when relevant.
- Footer text trimmed to fit cleanly without clipping.
Install order (in customInstall macro)
- Python → ripgrep → Git
- Python and ripgrep are silent and run first; Git's UAC prompt comes
last so the user's approval interaction isn't interrupted by silent
activity afterwards.
Skip behavior unchanged

* feat(desktop): add model-confirmation step to onboarding
After OAuth/API-key login completes, onboarding now shows a confirmation
card with the curated default model and a Change button before dropping
the user into chat. Closes the gap where the desktop's `model.default`
was empty after first launch and the agent had to fall back to whatever
heuristic happened to fire — leaving users wondering "why am I getting
sonnet-4 when I logged into Nous Portal?"
Why
- Desktop onboarding only persisted credentials, never `model.default`.
The CLI's `hermes model` command pairs provider + model selection,
but the desktop's onboarding skipped the model step entirely.
- Result: users saw whichever model the agent's auto-fallback picked,
unpredictably and undocumented.
- For the BUILD demo we want users to land on the model they expect
for their provider, with a clear "this is what you're getting" UI
and a one-click path to change it before chatting.
How
- New `confirming_model` flow status carries the just-authenticated
provider slug, current default model, label, and a saving flag.
- `completeWithModelConfirm()` runs after credentials succeed: reloads
env, verifies runtime, fetches /api/model/options to find the curated
first-model for the provider, persists it via /api/model/set, then
transitions into `confirming_model`.
- If anything fails (no providers returned, network error), falls
through to the previous behaviour — onboarding completes without
the confirm step. Polish, not a hard requirement.
- All four credential paths (device_code OAuth, PKCE OAuth, external
CLI flow, API key) now use completeWithModelConfirm instead of
reloadAndConnect.
UI
- `ConfirmingModelPanel` shows: green "<provider> connected" banner,
card with "Default model: <name>" + Change button, and a "Start
chatting" CTA that finalises onboarding.
- Reuses the existing `ModelPickerDialog` (the same picker available
from the chat shell) for the change-model UX. Search, filtering,
multi-provider listing — all already built.
- Stacking: ModelPickerDialog defaults to z-130, which renders UNDER
the onboarding overlay (z-1300) and breaks pointer events. Added
optional `contentClassName` prop to ModelPickerDialog so callers
can override; onboarding passes `z-[1310]`.
Provider-slug matching
- For OAuth flows: pass `provider.id` directly as the preferred slug.
- For API-key flows: `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` → "openrouter" via env-key
prefix strip. Also includes the user-visible label as a fallback
candidate.
- fetchProviderDefaultModel falls back to the first authenticated
provider in the response if no preferred slug matches — so even a
miss still surfaces a reasonable default.
Files
- apps/desktop/src/store/onboarding.ts:
+ new `confirming_model` flow variant
+ fetchProviderDefaultModel + completeWithModelConfirm helpers
+ setOnboardingModel (optimistic update + revert on failure)
+ confirmOnboardingModel (finalises onboarding from the card)
- reloadAndConnect (replaced; the four call sites now go through
completeWithModelConfirm)
- apps/desktop/src/components/desktop-onboarding-overlay.tsx:
+ ConfirmingModelPanel component
+ new branch in FlowPanel for status `confirming_model`
+ ModelPickerDialog usage with z-[1310] content class
- apps/desktop/src/components/model-picker.tsx:
+ optional `contentClassName` prop on ModelPickerDialog so the
dialog can be stacked on top of other fixed overlays
Tested
- `npm run type-check` passes
- `npx eslint` clean on touched files
- Live test in `npm run dev`: cleared onboarding cache, walked
through Nous device-code flow, saw confirm card with curated
default, clicked Change → ModelPickerDialog rendered above the
onboarding overlay with working pointer events, picked a different
model, "Start chatting" persisted to ~/.hermes/config.yaml.
* fix(desktop): suppress generic provider warning in onboarding
Hide the red setup notice when the message is the generic missing-provider guidance, since onboarding already presents provider auth actions. Centralize provider-setup matching across desktop hooks and add coverage for the matcher.
* fix(desktop): add 2u clearance below prereq checkboxes
Group box bottom border was clipping the checkboxes by 1-2px.
Bumped each box height 26u→30u; checkboxes now sit 2u above the bottom border.
* fix(nix): refresh dashboard lockfile hash
Update the web npm deps hash in nix/web.nix to match the committed apps/dashboard/package-lock.json so bb/gui passes the nix lockfile check.
* fix(desktop): install TUI deps in release workflow
Ensure desktop release builds install the standalone ui-tui package before bundling the TUI payload.
* fix(desktop): run release builder from app package
Invoke the desktop builder through the package script so electron-builder uses apps/desktop/package.json.
* fix(desktop): expand release artifact names safely
Build desktop artifact names from workflow version/channel while preserving electron-builder platform macros.
* fix(desktop): use package artifact naming in release workflow
Let electron-builder's desktop package config provide platform-specific artifact extensions while the workflow injects the release version/channel metadata.
* fix(nix): fetch dashboard npm deps from package root
Point the dashboard npm dependency fetch at apps/dashboard so Nix can find the package lockfile after the dashboard move.
* fix(nix): build dashboard from package directory
Set the web package source root to apps/dashboard so npm patch/build phases run beside the dashboard lockfile while keeping apps/shared available as a sibling.
* feat(desktop): render LaTeX math via KaTeX after streaming completes
Add @streamdown/math plugin to the chat markdown renderer.
Inline ($x^2$) and block ($$...$$) math both supported with
singleDollarTextMath enabled. Plugin is gated to non-streaming state
to match the existing pattern for syntax highlighting — math renders
when the message completes, avoiding KaTeX re-render churn during
streaming. KaTeX CSS is imported in styles.css; ~30KB CSS + ~430KB
JS added to the bundle. Smoothness improvements during streaming
deferred to a follow-up.
* perf(desktop): memoize KaTeX renders so math streams without re-rendering
Wrap rehype-katex with a per-equation LRU cache (keyed by
displayMode + source text) and re-enable math during streaming.
Stock @streamdown/math runs rehype-katex on every markdown commit,
so each new token re-katexes every equation in the message. For
math-heavy responses (an equation derived step-by-step) that's
hundreds of ms of wasted work per token and the streaming UI
chokes. With memoization, each equation pays katex.renderToString
exactly once; subsequent tokens re-walk the tree but hit cache for
unchanged equations.
The wrapper mirrors rehype-katex's semantics exactly: same class
detection (language-math, math-inline, math-display), same
<pre>-walk-up for fenced math blocks, same parent.children.splice
replacement, same SKIP traversal, same strict-then-lenient render
strategy with VFile message reporting.
Cached children are structuredCloned on each splice so downstream
rehype plugins or toJsxRuntime can't mutate the cache.
* fix(desktop): declare katex-memo deps directly + drop per-app lockfile
katex-memo.ts (added in 112cad59b) imports hast-util-from-html-isomorphic,
hast-util-to-text, remark-math, katex, and unist-util-visit-parents but
those were never added to apps/desktop/package.json. They were silently
resolving via @streamdown/math at the workspace root, which broke the
moment `npm i --prefix apps/desktop` ran with the per-workspace lockfile
because that install only consults apps/desktop/package.json. Add them
as direct deps, plus unified/vfile/@types/hast for the type imports.
Also delete apps/desktop/package-lock.json — root package.json declares
workspaces: ["apps/*"], so npm manages all lockfile state at the root.
The stale per-app lockfile is what made `npm i --prefix apps/desktop`
diverge from the workspace install in the first place and left an empty
apps/desktop/node_modules/@assistant-ui/ stub that Vite's dep optimizer
then tried (and failed) to open at @assistant-ui/core/dist/internal.js.
* feat(desktop): disable Backdrop noise overlay by default
The noise overlay defaulted to on, which adds a busy speckle layer over
the whole window for every new user. Flip the Leva default to off; the
toggle stays in Backdrop / Noise for anyone who wants it back.
* fix(desktop): polish LaTeX rendering — currency, code blocks, brackets
Five distinct bugs surfaced from a math-heavy stress test:
1. Adjacent code fences glued together. scrubBacktickNoise's
second-pass regex /``\s*``/g matched the LAST 2 backticks of
one fence + whitespace + FIRST 2 backticks of the next, collapsing
two blocks into one. Fixed with lookbehind/lookahead so we only
match exactly 2 backticks not part of a longer run.
2. Whitespace eaten between fences and following content.
stripPreviewTargets internally calls .trim() which strips leading/
trailing whitespace from each split-segment. For segments between
two fences this collapsed \n\n to '', gluing fence close to next
block. Fixed by capturing leading/trailing whitespace at the call
site and restoring it after the transform.
3. Currency dollar signs eaten as math. With singleDollarTextMath:true
remark-math greedy-matched any pair of $, so '$5 ... $10' became
one inline math span. Added escapeCurrencyDollars to escape $<digit>
patterns to \$<digit> in prose segments (not in code). Trade-off:
math expressions starting with a digit (rare — '$5x = 10$') get
escaped too. Mirrors the convention in ChatGPT/Claude's UIs.
4. \(...\) and \[...\] LaTeX brackets unsupported. Models often
emit these instead of $...$ / $$...$$. Added
rewriteLatexBracketDelimiters preprocessor pass.
5. ```latex / ```tex blocks were being routed to KaTeX via a
rewrite to ```math. Aligns with GitHub markdown convention:
```math = render as math; ```latex / ```tex = LaTeX/TeX
source code (syntax highlighted, not rendered). Conflating them
broke teaching/showing-source use cases. MATH_FENCE_LANGUAGES
pruned to {'math'} only.
Also flipped parseIncompleteMarkdown to true (was !isStreaming) so
the math parser can't see $ inside streaming-but-not-yet-closed code
fences. Shiki was already deferred via defer={isStreaming} so this
doesn't introduce new tokenization cost.
Test: 18/18 existing tests still pass; one test updated to expect
escaped \$ in currency-prose-with-URL case.
* fix(desktop): detect Python via registry/filesystem; pin to 3.11–3.13
Two related fixes for Python detection on Windows:
1. py.exe (Python launcher) is missing from per-user installs that
didn't check the launcher option, so 'py -3.X --version' alone
misses real Python installs. User-reported case: clean Win11 +
official Python.org 3.14 install -> 'where py' returned nothing,
our installer offered to install Python again. Both NSIS prereq
page and main.cjs now probe in this order:
1. py.exe launcher (when present)
2. PEP 514 registry: HKLM/HKCU\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\<v>\InstallPath
3. Filesystem: %ProgramFiles%\Python<v>, %LocalAppData%\Programs\Python\Python<v>
Crucially, we never fall back to running 'python.exe' from PATH
on Windows — the WindowsApps stub at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\
WindowsApps\python.exe is a redirector that opens the Microsoft
Store window if no Store Python is installed. Triggering that
during boot would be terrible UX. Registry/filesystem probes
never execute the binary.
2. Drop 3.14 from the supported version set. Several Hermes deps
(notably pywinpty, which carries Rust crates like
windows_x86_64_msvc) don't yet publish 3.14 wheels. With wheels
missing, 'pip install -e .' falls back to building from sdist,
which needs a Rust toolchain — users see 'could not compile
windows_x86_64_msvc build script' on first run. install.ps1
sidesteps this by pinning to 3.11 via uv; the desktop installer
doesn't yet have the same uv-managed-Python pathway, so for now
we accept 3.11/3.12/3.13 and tell winget to install 3.11 if
none of those are present. Revisit when the wheel ecosystem
catches up to 3.14 (~early 2026).
* feat(desktop): Cron, Profiles, usage analytics, and titlebar fixes
- Add Cron and Profiles sidebar routes with full CRUD-style flows and API wiring.
- Extend Command Center with auxiliary task overrides and a Usage panel (7d/30d/90d).
- Fix titlebar geometry for WSL/Windows (native overlay width, tool spacing).
- Remove stray merge conflict markers from pyproject.toml optional deps.

* fix(title-bar): position sidebar toggle button
* feat(desktop): composer queue — queue many, edit/delete/cancel-edit, Cursor-style
Press Enter while busy with a draft to queue it; with no draft to interrupt
and send the next queued turn. Auto-drains one queued turn each time the
session settles, same as Cursor. Queue persists across reloads so an
interrupted-and-queued turn isn't lost on refresh.
Each queued row supports edit-in-composer (with explicit Save/Cancel),
send-now (↑), and delete. Drain skips only the entry currently being
edited so the rest of the queue keeps flowing.
Queue dequeue is transactional — an entry only leaves the queue after
`prompt.submit` is accepted, so a rejected submit doesn't drop the turn.
Also shrinks the `[interrupted]` marker to a muted one-liner and drops
its assistant footer so it stops looking like a real reply.

* feat(desktop): add MCP settings and live subagent tree
Surface configured MCP servers in Settings with JSON edit/save and a gateway-backed reload action so users can manage tool servers without falling back to slash commands.
Track live subagent gateway events in a desktop store, show active subagent counts in the Agents statusbar item, and replace the Agents overlay stub with a live spawn tree for the active session.
* fix(desktop): move power-user views out of sidebar
Keep Cron and Profiles available through lower-prominence chrome entry points so the workspace sidebar stays focused on core chat navigation.
Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
* refactor(desktop): subagent overlay reads like a live transcript, not a dashboard
Strip the card chrome and rewire /agents to feel like peeking into the
child agent's stream:
- subagents store: single `stream` of typed entries (thinking/tool/progress/
summary) replaces the parallel notes/thinking/tools arrays. Drop unused
fields (toolsets, depth, apiCalls, reasoningTokens, sessionId).
- agents view: no OverlayCards, no boxed stream, no per-row borders. Goal +
status pill + indented stream lines, full row width.
- Group root spawns into "Delegation N" sections when batch shape + spawn
time match — hides task-index interleaving and makes hierarchy obvious.
- Sort tree by spawn time, then task_index. Step indicator is one colored
pill (primary while running, emerald when done) inside the row, not a
trailing pill that wrapped under the chevron.
- Tree picks up `subagent.start` (not only `spawn_requested`) and prunes
delegate-tool fallback rows once native subagent events land for the
session — fixes duplicate "Delegated task" rows alongside the real ones.
* feat(desktop): Esc closes every OverlayView-based overlay
Lift the keyboard handler into the shared OverlayView so Agents, Settings,
Command Center — and anything we build on top of it later — all dismiss on
Esc by default. Nested Radix dialogs stop propagation themselves, so a
modal opened inside an overlay (e.g. model picker inside Settings) still
closes the modal first, not the overlay underneath.
Drop the now-redundant Esc handlers in Settings (kept Cmd/Ctrl+P) and
Command Center.
* fix(desktop): drop numbered step pill on subagent rows
The pill was getting clipped at the overlay edge anyway. Just use the
status glyph (●/✓/✗/■/○) — the delegation header already conveys
"3 workers, 3 active", and order in the list implies which step you're
looking at.
* fix(desktop): drop noisy "returned N items / empty object" stub strings
When a tool returns nothing useful, the row should be silent — the title
("Search Files", etc.) already tells the user what happened. Counting the
fields in an opaque payload is engineer-noise.
`formatToolResultSummary` and `minimalValueSummary` now return '' for
empty arrays / records / unrecognized values; tool-fallback already hides
the detail section when its body is empty.
* refactor(desktop): subagent rows borrow chat tool patterns (fade-in, lucide glyphs, shimmer)
Pull the agents view closer to how chat tool blocks render:
- statusGlyph() returns the same lucide BrailleSpinner / CheckCircle2 /
AlertCircle vocabulary as tool-fallback's statusGlyph
- Stream lines fade-in via useEnterAnimation (one-shot WAAPI), keyed per
entry so streamed deltas settle in instead of popping
- Subagent rows fade in too, and pick up the existing data-slot=tool-block
spacing rules between blocks
- Active stream line trails a BrailleSpinner instead of a hand-rolled
pulsing rectangle
- Goal text drops FadeText (which forces nowrap); keep FadeText only for
the single-line meta subtitle
- Running rows shimmer the title — same affordance the chat thinking row
uses
* refactor(desktop): make /agents subagent-only, drop sidebar + dead sections
Activity rail and History stub were both noise. Strip the split layout,
sidebar, route enum, and the rail/stub helpers — the overlay is now just
the spawn tree, centered in a max-w-3xl column so it stops claiming the
whole screen for one section's worth of content.
* feat: update cron modals
* Add dedicated GUI log stream for dashboard debugging.
Capture dashboard and PTY websocket lifecycle failures in gui.log and expose it via hermes logs.
* Improve desktop runtime UX by surfacing inference readiness in gateway status and hardening WSL link opening.
This also stabilizes markdown code/table block spacing and adds root-install guards so desktop dev runs use a healthy workspace dependency tree.
* Log detailed GUI websocket failure metadata.
Capture richer reject/disconnect/send/parse context for dashboard gateway websocket flows so GUI connection failures are diagnosable from logs.
* Default dashboard startup logging to GUI mode.
Detect the dashboard subcommand during early CLI bootstrap so gui.log is attached from process start and GUI startup failures are always captured.
* Clean up gateway status conditionals and logging bootstrap mode detection.
Simplify nested dashboard gateway status branches for readability and use a concise first-subcommand check when selecting early GUI logging mode.
* add logging to nsis installer
* feat: glass ui pass
* fix(desktop): persist inline assistant errors across hydrate/resume
- Detect provider failure text arriving via message.complete
(HTTP 4xx, "API call failed after N retries", Provider/Gateway
error: ...) and persist as an inline assistant error instead of
regular completion text, blocking the hydrate that was wiping it.
- preserveLocalAssistantErrors: merge by id so same-id hydrated
messages keep their local error, and preserve the optimistic
user+error pair as a unit (with tail-user dedupe).
- Hook all hydrate/resume writers (use-session-actions resume +
fallback, hydrateFromStoredSession, syncSessionStateToView) into
the merge so stale snapshots can't clobber a failed turn.
- Add error to chatMessagesEquivalent so the resume diff actually
sees error-only changes and paints them.
- editMessage on a failed turn now submits a plain resend (no
truncate_before_user_ordinal) and retries plainly on the
"no longer in session history" race.
Style polish on touched files:
- Inline error: text-only treatment (no card).
- User stop / edit-composer send: shared Tabler IconPlayerStopFilled
glyph + shared icon-button class slot for parity.
* feat(desktop): theme xterm with active light/dark mode
The right-sidebar terminal hardcoded a light palette, which read poorly
on the dark glass surface. Subscribe to `useTheme().resolvedMode` and
hot-swap `term.options.theme` so Shift+X (and any other mode change)
updates the terminal in place without tearing down the PTY session.
Dark mode uses xterm's built-in defaults (white fg/cursor + vivid ANSI
16) with just a transparent background so the glass shows through;
light mode keeps the existing hand-tuned overrides for legibility on a
bright surface.
* feat(sidebar): right-click + drag-reorder sessions and workspaces
- Wire right-click on session rows to open the same actions menu;
suppresses the OS-native context menu so Windows stops looking awful.
- Share dropdown + context menu items via useSessionActions() driving
a single declarative ItemSpec[]; render polymorphic over MenuItem.
- New shadcn ContextMenu primitive mirroring DropdownMenu styling.
- Restore drag-and-drop reordering for Agents (lost during the cwd
cleanup) and add reordering of workspace groups via a right-side
grab handle. Pinned reorder unchanged.
- Generic orderByIds<T> replaces the duplicated session/group orderers;
useSortableBindings() hook collapses the two Sortable wrappers.
- cursor-pointer on every actionable element; cursor-grab on handles.
- KISS pass: baseName() helper, AGE_TICKS table, single WORKSPACE_PAGE
constant, flatter SidebarSessionsSection render.
* feat(desktop): solarize the xterm palette in both light & dark
xterm's default ANSI 16 is tuned for dark and reads candy-bright on the
light glass surface (vivid cyans/greens). Ship the canonical Solarized
palette (Schoonover) for both modes — same 16 accents either way, only
fg/cursor swap between `base00/01` (light) and `base0/1` (dark), so a
prompt's colors look uniform across a Shift+X toggle.
Background stays transparent in both modes — Solarized's cream/slate
backgrounds would fight the glass.
* feat(desktop): virtualize chat thread + sidebar via TanStack Virtual
Replaces `use-stick-to-bottom` and per-row session rendering with
`@tanstack/react-virtual`, matching what Cursor uses.
Chat thread (`thread-virtualizer.tsx`):
- Natural-flow virtualization (padding spacers, not absolute items) so
`position: sticky` on the human bubble still resolves cleanly against
the scroller.
- Custom at-bottom anchor: pins when armed, disarms on user-driven
upward scroll, re-arms at bottom, jumps on session switch +
`thread.runStart`.
- Loading indicator and `--thread-last-message-clearance` move to a
real `[data-slot=aui_composer-clearance]` node; drops the brittle
`:nth-last-child(1 of …)` rule that can't fire reliably under
virtualization.
Sidebar (`virtual-session-list.tsx`):
- Flat agents list virtualizes at >=25 rows; pinned and
workspace-grouped paths stay direct-render.
- `SortableContext` keeps all IDs; only the window mounts; dnd-kit's
`setNodeRef` is merged with `virtualizer.measureElement` so rows
participate in both DnD hit-testing and TanStack measurement.
Drops `use-stick-to-bottom`. Streaming test gets a global
`offsetWidth/offsetHeight` stub so the virtualizer's viewport sizing
works in jsdom; the scroll-up-doesn't-pull-back invariant still passes.
* feat: more ui qa
* fix(desktop): trim sidebar terminal startup spacer
Drop zsh's initial spacer row before writing the first terminal prompt so new sidebar terminal sessions do not open with a selectable blank line.
* chore: uptick
* feat(desktop): thin installer + first-launch install.ps1 bootstrap
Converges the Windows packaged desktop installer onto a single canonical
install topology: drop the Electron shell only (~80MB instead of ~500MB),
clone Hermes Agent at a build-time-pinned commit on first launch via
install.ps1's stage protocol, and treat the resulting git checkout at
%LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes\hermes-agent\ as the canonical install location
(same path the CLI installer uses). Future updates flow through the
existing applyUpdates() git-pull path.
Replaces the previous fat-installer architecture where the .exe bundled
a pre-staged hermes-agent source tree under resources/hermes-agent/ that
was then sync'd into ACTIVE_HERMES_ROOT at launch -- a complicated
factory-vs-active dance with several footguns (FACTORY_HERMES_ROOT
mismatch on path resolve, isGitCheckout guard regressions, pyproject
hash drift detection inside the sync loop).
Architecture overview
---------------------
Build time
apps/desktop/scripts/write-build-stamp.cjs writes
apps/desktop/build/install-stamp.json with {commit, branch, builtAt,
dirty}. Honours $GITHUB_SHA / $GITHUB_REF_NAME in CI, falls back to
`git rev-parse HEAD` locally.
apps/desktop/scripts/stage-native-deps.cjs copies the runtime subset
of @homebridge/node-pty-prebuilt-multiarch from the workspace-root
node_modules into apps/desktop/build/native-deps/. Workspace dedup
hoists this dep to the root, out of reach of electron-builder's
`files:`-restricted collector; staging gives us a deterministic
path to extraResources.
electron-builder ships both into resources/install-stamp.json and
resources/native-deps/ respectively.
Boot resolver (electron/main.cjs)
Resolver order:
1. HERMES_DESKTOP_HERMES_ROOT override
2. SOURCE_REPO_ROOT (dev mode)
3. ACTIVE_HERMES_ROOT git checkout WITH .hermes-bootstrap-complete
marker -- the post-install fast path
4. `hermes` on PATH (CLI-installed user adding the desktop)
5. pip-installed hermes_cli via system Python
6. bootstrap-needed sentinel -> hand off to runBootstrap
Deletes the entire FACTORY_HERMES_ROOT / RUNTIME_MARKER /
syncTreeExcludingVenv machinery (-200 lines). The isGitCheckout
guard that bit us in the install.ps1 PR is gone.
First-launch bootstrap (electron/bootstrap-runner.cjs)
1. Resolve install.ps1: prefer SOURCE_REPO_ROOT/scripts (dev), else
download from GitHub raw at INSTALL_STAMP.commit (cached at
HERMES_HOME\bootstrap-cache\install-<sha>.ps1).
2. Fetch the stage manifest via install.ps1 -Manifest -Commit X
-Branch Y.
3. Iterate stages: install.ps1 -Stage <name> -NonInteractive -Json
-Commit X -Branch Y per stage.
4. On all stages green: write the .hermes-bootstrap-complete
marker with {schemaVersion, pinnedCommit, pinnedBranch,
completedAt, desktopVersion}.
Per-run log to HERMES_HOME\logs\bootstrap-<ts>.log. Cancellation
via AbortSignal. Manifest cache so retries don't re-download.
Install overlay (src/components/desktop-install-overlay.tsx)
Mounted alongside the existing onboarding overlay; flexbox card
with header (static) + middle (scrollable) + footer (failure-only,
static). Subscribes to hermes:bootstrap:event IPC + resyncs from
hermes:bootstrap:get on mount/reload. Renders:
- 14-stage checklist with per-stage state icons
- Overall progress bar + current-stage spotlight
- Auto-expanded installer-output panel on failure
- "Copy output" button (full ring buffer + error to clipboard)
- "Reload and retry" wired through hermes:bootstrap:reset to
clear main.cjs's latched failure
Synthetic empty-manifest event from main.cjs flips the overlay to
'active' immediately so the slow install.ps1 download doesn't
leave the user staring at the generic Preparing splash.
Failure latching (main.cjs)
bootstrapFailure module-scope variable holds the rejection after
install.ps1 fails. startHermes() throws the latched error
immediately when set, bypassing the entire ensureRuntime +
runBootstrap chain. Without this, the renderer's ensureGatewayOpen
retries would re-run install.ps1 in a 5-10 min hot loop while the
user was still reading the failure overlay. Cleared via
hermes:bootstrap:reset on user-driven retry.
Unsupported-platform overlay (1F)
macOS / Linux packaged builds (no install.sh stage protocol yet)
emit an unsupported-platform event with a copy-pasteable install
command + docs URL. Dedicated overlay branch with "Copy command"
+ "I've run it -- retry" buttons.
install.ps1 additions (Phase 1F.3 + 1F.5)
-----------------------------------------
New -Commit and -Tag string params. Precedence Commit > Tag >
Branch. Honoured by all three code paths (update / fresh clone /
ZIP fallback), with archive URL selection that handles each
ref-type variant. Detached-HEAD checkouts intentionally -- they're
pins, not branches the user pulls into.
EAP=Continue wrap around the new pin-step git invocations. `git
fetch origin <commit>` writes the routine 'From <url>' info line to
stderr; under the script's global EAP=Stop that terminates the
script even though fetch+checkout succeed. Matches the established
pattern in Install-Uv, Test-Python, _Run-NpmInstall.
Backend fix (hermes_cli/web_server.py)
--------------------------------------
CORS allow_origin_regex now accepts Origin: 'null'. Packaged
Electron loads index.html via file://; Chromium sets the WebSocket
upgrade Origin header to the opaque origin 'null', which the old
regex rejected with HTTP 403 before gateway_ws() ever ran. This
failure mode was masked in the older FACTORY_HERMES_ROOT
architecture because the resolver often found an existing hermes
on PATH with different binding behavior.
Security maintained: localhost-only bind keeps cross-machine pages
out; per-process session token still gates every authenticated
/api/ endpoint regardless of Origin.
Desktop QoL
-----------
DevTools is now enabled in packaged builds (F12 / Cmd+Opt+I).
Field-debugging trade-off: tiny attack surface increase versus
a much better support story when CSP / WS / theme issues surface.
NSIS prereq-check page deleted (-767 lines). The standard
Welcome -> License -> Directory -> InstallFiles -> Finish wizard
now installs without custom Python/Git/ripgrep detection -- those
prereqs are install.ps1's job at first launch.
Test infrastructure (Phase 1G)
------------------------------
apps/desktop/scripts/test-desktop.mjs rewritten as a cross-platform
bundle validator (was darwin-only and asserted on dead factory-
payload paths):
NEGATIVE: hermes_cli/main.py is NOT shipped (regression guard)
POSITIVE: install-stamp.json carries a real commit + branch
POSITIVE: node-pty native deps shipped under resources/native-deps
POSITIVE: renderer dist/index.html reachable (asar or unpacked)
New nsis mode and npm run test:desktop:nsis script.
Validated end-to-end on clean Win10 VM
--------------------------------------
Confirmed: NSIS installer drops Electron shell, app launches,
install overlay shows progress, install.ps1 clones the pinned
commit, 14 stages run to completion, marker written, backend
spawns, WebSocket connects, onboarding overlay asks for API key,
main UI loads, integrated terminal works.
Failures handled: bootstrap stays failed (no hot-loop retry),
"Copy output" gives actionable transcript, "Reload and retry"
explicitly re-runs install.ps1.
What's deferred
---------------
- MSIX wrapping (Phase 2): same Electron .exe under MSIX manifest
with runFullTrust, signed and submitted to Microsoft Store.
- install.sh stage protocol parity (Phase 2): once shipped, the
unsupported-platform overlay becomes drive-it-yourself and
macOS/Linux packaged installers gain feature parity with Windows.
* feat(desktop): persistent terminal pane + fullscreen takeover
Adds a VSCode-style "focus terminal" toggle to the right sidebar's Terminal
tab that takes over the chat pane area without unmounting the shell. The
xterm host is mounted once at the layout root and CSS-overlayed onto
whichever <TerminalSlot /> is currently active, so the PTY session,
scrollback, selection, focus, and WebGL renderer survive every toggle.
Also:
- WebGL renderer (matching dashboard ChatPage) so Hermes' TUI skins paint
faithfully instead of muting through xterm's default DOM renderer
- File drag/drop from the project tree or OS into xterm — paths are
shell-quoted (zsh/bash/pwsh/cmd) and written straight into the PTY
- Solarized dark canvas with brights promoted to real accent variants
(Schoonover's UI-gray brights washed out every TUI accent)
- Strip NO_COLOR/FORCE_COLOR/COLORFGBG/TERM=dumb leaking from non-tty
parents (CI runners, Cursor's agent shell) so the embedded shell gets
truecolor regardless of how Electron was launched
- rAF-debounced ResizeObserver — running fit.fit() synchronously during
sibling pane transitions crashed the WebGL texture-atlas rebuild
* fix(install.ps1): strip UTF-8 BOM regression that broke 'irm | iex'
The canonical install flow
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/.../scripts/install.ps1 | iex
fails on PowerShell 5.1 with a cascade of 'The assignment expression
is not valid' errors at every param() default value:
[string]$Branch = 'main',
~~~~~~
The assignment expression is not valid. The input to an assignment
operator must be an object that is able to accept assignments...
Root cause: scripts/install.ps1 carries a UTF-8 BOM (0xEF 0xBB 0xBF)
as its first three bytes. 'irm' returns the response body as a string;
on PS 5.1 the BOM survives into that string as a leading \ufeff
character. 'iex' then evaluates the string and PS's parser chokes
on the invisible character before param() -- error recovery proceeds
into the body but every assignment is reported as broken.
This was the exact failure mode the install.ps1 hardening pass (PR
#27224) deliberately fixed by stripping the BOM and ensuring the
file body is pure ASCII. Commit 4279da4db ('fix(windows): make
PowerShell installer parse in 5.1') re-introduced the BOM later,
unintentionally undoing the irm|iex compatibility fix; the merge
that brought it into bb/gui carried it forward.
Fix: strip the three BOM bytes. File body is verified pure ASCII
(any-byte > 127 returns false), so PS 5.1 with no BOM falls back to
Windows-1252 decoding which is identical to ASCII for our content.
Both install paths now work:
- 'irm ... | iex' (canonical CLI)
- 'powershell -File install.ps1' (programmatic / desktop bootstrap)
* install.ps1: detect ARM64 Windows reliably for Node and Git stages
Add a Get-WindowsArch helper that reads Win32_Processor.Architecture
via CIM (invariant to PowerShell host bitness) with PROCESSOR_ARCHITEW6432
fallback. Use it in:
- Install-Git: previously only triggered the arm64 PortableGit asset
when invoked from a native-ARM64 PowerShell host. WoW64 / emulated
x64 hosts (the default powershell.exe on Windows-on-ARM) saw
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=AMD64 and fell through to the x64 PortableGit
build, leaving ARM64 users on emulated Git for Windows.
- Test-Node: previously hardcoded the Node download to win-x64 on any
64-bit OS, so ARM64 users always got x64 Node under Prism emulation
even though Node ships an arm64 build for Windows. The winget
fallback now also passes --architecture arm64 on ARM64.
Python remains x86_64 by design: uv intentionally prefers
windows-x86_64 cpython on ARM64 hosts for ecosystem (wheel)
compatibility (see astral-sh/uv#19015).
* install.ps1: harden Install-SystemPackages against winget msstore failures
The previous winget invocation discarded stdout/stderr and trusted no
signal at all -- not the exit code (winget exits 0 even when it bails
"please specify --source"), not output (sent to Out-Null), not the
catch handler (winget returning 0 means no exception fires). The only
trust signal was a post-install Get-Command rg / Get-Command ffmpeg
check, which would also miss the package because %LOCALAPPDATA%\
Microsoft\WinGet\Links (where winget puts command aliases) is added to
PATH by AppExecutionAlias machinery only in fresh shells. End result on
machines where the msstore source has a cert problem (0x8a15005e --
common on Windows-on-ARM and some corporate networks): silent failure,
no log, no breadcrumb, and the user is told the install succeeded.
Specifically:
- Pin --source winget on every winget install call. Defeats the broken-
msstore-source path. We ship nothing from msstore so this is safe and
forward-compatible.
- Add --exact --id for a tighter package match.
- Capture each winget invocation's combined stdout/stderr + exit code to
%TEMP%\hermes-winget-<pkg>-<n>.log instead of Out-Null. On the happy
path the log is deleted after the post-install check confirms the
binary is on PATH; on failure the log is kept and its path is named in
a Write-Warn so the user has something to grep.
- Refresh PATH to include %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WinGet\Links in
addition to the User/Machine env-var hives, so Get-Command sees newly-
installed winget aliases in the same process.
- No behavior change on the happy path. Same Write-Info/Success/Warn
cadence, same fallback order (winget -> choco -> scoop -> manual),
same $script:HasRipgrep / $script:HasFfmpeg outputs.
Verified end-to-end on a real Snapdragon ARM64 Windows host: ripgrep
uninstalled, stage re-run, [OK] ripgrep installed in 1.4s, ok:true.
* desktop: swap node-pty fork for upstream microsoft/node-pty 1.1.0
The previous dependency, @homebridge/node-pty-prebuilt-multiarch@0.13.1,
publishes no win32-arm64 prebuilds on its v0.13.x line, and its v0.14.x
betas (which do add an arm64 Windows build) ship no electron-vXXX-win32-
arm64 prebuilds at all -- so packaged Electron 40 builds (NMV 143) would
fail at runtime even on a successful npm install. Net effect: the
desktop's integrated terminal was unbuildable on Windows-on-ARM, in
both dev (npm install fails: 404 fetching the node-vXXX-win32-arm64
prebuilt) and packaged builds (no Electron-ABI prebuilt exists).
The homebridge fork was originally created because upstream node-pty
shipped no prebuilds at all. That hasn't been true since node-pty@1.0
(April 2024), which:
- bundles prebuilts for mac (arm64+x64) and Windows (arm64+x64) directly
inside the npm tarball -- no GitHub-Releases fetch, no missing-binary
failure mode
- uses N-API (node-addon-api) for ABI stability across Node and Electron
major versions, so the same pty.node binary loads under Node 22 (dev)
and Electron 40+ (packaged) without per-ABI rebuilds
- is what VS Code, Hyper, and Theia actually ship
API surface is identical (spawn / onData / onExit / write / resize /
kill) -- no call-site changes needed.
Specifically:
- apps/desktop/package.json: replace the @homebridge fork with
node-pty@1.1.0 (exact pin). Widen `asarUnpack` from `["**/*.node"]`
to also unpack `**/prebuilds/**`, because node-pty ships runtime-
execed helpers alongside its .node files (darwin spawn-helper has no
extension and would not be matched by `**/*.node`; conpty.dll,
OpenConsole.exe, winpty.dll, winpty-agent.exe on Windows are also
exec'd at runtime and cannot live inside asar).
- apps/desktop/electron/main.cjs: update both require() strings to
match the new package name and the new staged path under
resources/native-deps/node-pty/.
- apps/desktop/scripts/stage-native-deps.cjs: point at node_modules/
node-pty. node-pty's prebuilts live under prebuilds/<plat>-<arch>/
(not build/Release/), so update the include glob to copy that dir.
Per-arch staging keeps the resource bundle small (target arch comes
from npm_config_arch when electron-builder cross-builds, else
process.arch). Explicitly enumerate file types in the prebuilds glob
so the ~25 MB of .pdb debug symbols that prebuild-install bundles
for Windows crash analysis don't bloat the installer (29 MB -> 2.6 MB
staged on win32-arm64). Re-assert +x on the darwin spawn-helper
defensively, since a stripped mode bit would manifest as a silent
ENOENT at first pty.spawn().
- apps/desktop/scripts/test-desktop.mjs: update expectedNativeDepPaths()
and its assertion site to look at prebuilds/<plat>-<arch>/ instead of
build/Release/. Add an explicit spawn-helper-exists check on darwin
so a regression in the asarUnpack glob would fail loudly in CI rather
than at first PTY spawn.
Trade-off: Linux end-users lose prebuilts and fall back to building
node-pty from source on `npm install`. Acceptable because Hermes
ships no Linux desktop builds (desktop-release.yml matrix is mac + win
only, package.json declares no `linux` target), and Linux developers
hacking on the desktop already need a C++ toolchain for the rest of
the stack.
Verified on Windows 11 ARM64 (Snapdragon):
npm install -> exit 0
node -e "require('node-pty').spawn(...)" round-trip -> OK
stage-native-deps -> 27 files, 2.6 MB
load from staged tree (simulates packaged fallback) -> ConPTY
round-trip OK
* desktop+gateway: harden Slack socket recovery and Windows restart dedupe (#28873)
* desktop+gateway: harden Slack socket recovery and Windows restart dedupe
Fix Slack Socket Mode reliability by adding a watchdog/reconnect path so silent socket task drops no longer leave the adapter stuck. Harden Windows gateway lifecycle by avoiding desktop-binary path collisions, making gateway PID scans case/extension tolerant, and reusing in-flight restart actions to prevent duplicate gateway spawns.
* test(slack): add Socket Mode watchdog/reconnect behavioural coverage
Drive the new Slack Socket Mode self-healing logic through a fake AsyncSocketModeHandler so we can simulate the P0 silent-hang failure mode (task exit, transport disconnected, intentional shutdown, concurrent reconnect attempts) without touching real Slack.
* fix(slack,desktop): address Copilot review on watchdog races and path normalization
- connect(): explicitly cancel + await the prior socket watchdog before flipping _running, so an old monitor cannot exit between teardown and respawn (Copilot #1)
- _socket_watchdog_loop: wrap the body in try/except + add a done-callback that respawns on unexpected crash, so a transient bug cannot permanently disable self-healing (Copilot #2)
- normalizeExecutablePathForCompare: use the resolved path for realpathSync so non-string inputs cannot leak through (Copilot #3)
- Add tests for crash-recovery and atomic watchdog replacement across reconnects
* fix(slack): tighten connect() error path and clarify watchdog test intent
Address Copilot review round 2.
- connect(): wrap _start_socket_mode_handler/_ensure_socket_watchdog in a focused try/except so any failure rolls back partially-started handler/task state and leaves _running=False, ensuring the platform lock is always released by the outer finally
- Defer _running=True until after the handler is actually started so the watchdog observes a live socket task immediately and never spins against a half-built adapter
- Rename test_watchdog_self_restarts_after_unexpected_crash to test_watchdog_cancellation_does_not_respawn (matches what it actually asserts) and add test_watchdog_unexpected_exit_respawns_via_done_callback that drives a real RuntimeError through _on_socket_watchdog_done and verifies a fresh task replaces the crashed one
* fix(web_server): serialize action spawn check+store under a threading lock
Address Copilot review round 3.
FastAPI runs sync handlers on its threadpool, so two near-simultaneous /api/gateway/restart (or /api/hermes/update) requests could both observe "no live process" in _spawn_hermes_action's poll-based dedupe and double-spawn. Add a module-level _ACTION_SPAWN_LOCK around the entire check + Popen + _ACTION_PROCS store sequence so the dedupe is atomic across threads.
* fix: address Copilot review round 4
- slack.disconnect(): mirror connect()'s defensive cleanup — catch the broad Exception path on watchdog await so handler shutdown and lock release still run if the watchdog raised before cancellation took effect
- web_server._spawn_hermes_action: wrap subprocess.Popen in try/except so a missing executable / permission error closes the log file handle, writes a failure marker, and re-raises instead of leaking a file descriptor
- gateway._scan_gateway_pids: drop the over-broad "hermes.exe --profile" / "hermes.exe -p" patterns that would match any Hermes CLI subcommand using a profile flag (e.g. `hermes.exe --profile foo dashboard`); rely on the "hermes.exe gateway" + "hermes-gateway.exe" tokens instead
- tests: tighten _fake_create_task to assert coroutine input and return a real asyncio.Task that stays pending until pytest teardown, and update the three callsites whose mocked AsyncSocketModeHandler.start_async returned a non-coroutine value
* fix(slack): reset multi-workspace state on reconnect
Address Copilot review round 5.
connect() is reentrant (gateway restart, in-process reconnect), but it was leaving _bot_user_id / _team_clients / _team_bot_user_ids populated from the previous session. A reconnect that rotated the primary token or dropped a workspace would silently keep the stale bot user id and stale workspace client maps, leading to dispatch against gone workspaces.
Clear these three pieces of state right after _stop_socket_mode_handler() and before the auth_test loop, then let the loop repopulate from the current tokens. Add test_reconnect_refreshes_multi_workspace_state to lock it in.
* nix: package apps/desktop as .#desktop (#28964)
Adds nix/desktop.nix building the Electron renderer with buildNpmPackage
and wrapping nixpkgs' electron binary. Reuses .#default by setting
HERMES_DESKTOP_HERMES to its hermes binary, so the desktop's resolver
picks up the fully-wired nix hermes (venv, bundled skills/plugins,
runtime PATH) without reimplementing agent resolution.
- nix/desktop.nix: renderer + electron wrapper
- nix/hermes-agent.nix: finalAttrs form, exposes hermesDesktop in passthru
- nix/packages.nix: exposes .#desktop + adds to fix-lockfiles
- apps/desktop/package-lock.json: standalone hermetic lockfile
nix build .#desktop && nix run .#desktop both clean.
* fix(desktop): probe steps 4 & 5 of resolveHermesBackend before trusting
A user-reported failure on Windows-on-ARM: a pre-installed Python 3.13
on PATH makes findSystemPython() succeed, so resolveHermesBackend
returns a backend pointing at it -- but hermes_cli isn't in that
interpreter's site-packages. The spawn dies with ModuleNotFoundError
and the user sees a dead GUI instead of the first-launch installer.
Same shape can hit step 4 (existing `hermes` on PATH) when a stale
shim survives a partial uninstall.
Add cheap exit-code probes -- `python -c "import hermes_cli"` for
step 5, `<hermes> --version` for step 4 -- and fall through to step 6
(bootstrap-needed) on failure. install.ps1 then runs as if on a clean
box and the venv gets built.
Probes live in a standalone electron/backend-probes.cjs module so they
can be unit-tested with node --test, same pattern as bootstrap-platform.cjs
and hardening.cjs. New test file wired into test:desktop:platforms.
* test(desktop): allow `node-pty` bare-require in packaged entrypoints
Pre-existing failure on bb/gui since c858484b4 swapped the node-pty
fork for upstream microsoft/node-pty 1.1.0. main.cjs intentionally
bare-requires node-pty (it's hoisted by workspace dedup in dev, and
staged to resources/native-deps via scripts/stage-native-deps.cjs +
extraResources for packaged builds, with a try/catch fallback at
line ~38). The allowlist hadn't been updated to match -- same shape
as `electron`, which was already allowed.
* chore(deps): refresh root lockfile for dashboard @nous-research/ui 0.14.0
apps/dashboard/package.json was bumped to @nous-research/ui 0.14.0 (+
flag-icons ^7.5.0, motion ^12.38.0) but the root package-lock.json was
never refreshed. Running `npm install` from the repo root now
materialises 0.14.0's transitive closure (launder, bumps for
@nanostores/react, nanostores, sanitize-html, tailwind-merge).
No code changes; purely a lockfile catch-up so fresh checkouts on bb/gui
get a working dashboard install.
* chore(desktop): bump version to 0.0.1
First non-placeholder version so electron-builder's artifactName template
produces `Hermes-0.0.1-win-x64.exe` instead of the obviously-unreleased
`Hermes-0.0.0-...`. No release process yet; this just stops the artifact
filename from telling users "you got a debug build."
Bumped in three slots that all carry the desktop app's version:
- apps/desktop/package.json (source of truth)
- apps/desktop/package-lock.json (per-app lockfile, kept for CI parity)
- root package-lock.json's apps/desktop workspace entry
Identity-of-build for first-launch bootstrap continues to come from
build/install-stamp.json (commit SHA + builtAt), unchanged.
* fix: fs icon color
* perf(desktop): cut per-keystroke layout + listener churn in chat composer
Empirical work via CDP harnesses under apps/desktop/scripts/ (see
profile-typing-lag.md):
jsListeners growth (per round of 200 chars + GC):
before: +35 (verified leak — listeners stuck after 1st trigger popover use)
after: +0
Four narrow edits in src/app/chat/composer/index.tsx:
1. Drop the per-keystroke `editorRef.current.scrollHeight` read used to
decide composer expansion. Replace with `draft.length > 60` heuristic;
the existing ResizeObserver still catches edge cases. `scrollHeight`
is a forced-layout call and was firing on every char until the first
wrap.
2. Bucket measured composer height to 8px before writing
`--composer-measured-height` / `--composer-surface-measured-height`
on `documentElement`. Without this, the editor grows ~1px per char,
setProperty fires every keystroke, computed style is invalidated tree-
wide.
3. Remove the dead `$composerDraft` two-way sync. Nothing outside the
composer subscribed to that atom (verified via grep). Two useEffects
on `[draft]` were pushing draft→atom and atom→aui per keystroke for
no consumer. Also drop the per-keystroke
`reconcileComposerTerminalSelections` call; it was pruning stale
labels for `terminalContextBlocksFromDraft`, but that helper already
ignores labels not in the current submitted text, so pruning per
keystroke was just bookkeeping.
4. `refreshTrigger` fast-bails when the draft contains neither `@` nor
`/`. Previously `textBeforeCaret(editor)` ran on every input/keyup
regardless; `range.toString()` inside is O(n) over draft length.
Synthetic typing latency p50/p90/p99 is similar before vs after on a
freshly-loaded session (Blink can already handle ~30cps typing into a
contentEditable on its own); the real win is the listener leak being
gone and the global computed-style invalidations dropping ~8× when the
composer is sitting at a fixed height row.
The `Enter → stall` follow-up (see profile-typing-lag.md §"Submit /
TTFT stall") is unmeasured here — needs a throwaway session because
the harness fires a real prompt. Not blocking this commit.
* perf(desktop): cut FadeText forced layouts during streaming
The slowest user-felt path is typing into the composer while the
assistant is streaming. Profile (scripts/profile-under-stream.mjs):
FadeText measureOverflow self time: 35.8 ms → 18.1 ms (-50%)
total active CPU during 7s window: ~150 ms → ~50 ms
Two changes in src/components/ui/fade-text.tsx:
1. Drop the `useEffect([children])` that re-ran `measureOverflow`
(reads scrollWidth + clientWidth — forced layout) on every parent
re-render. `useResizeObserver` already fires the same callback on
mount and whenever the host span's box size changes; that covers
the only case where overflow state can legitimately change. The
previous explicit useEffect was a forced-layout flush on every
parent render, which during streaming meant every token tick.
2. Wrap the component in `memo` with a custom comparator that
short-circuits the entire render when scalar string `children` and
the className/fadeWidth/style props are unchanged. The hot path
was tool-fallback's title chips being re-rendered by parent
streaming updates even though their text was stable; memo+
comparator skips that.
Also adds two harness scripts under apps/desktop/scripts/:
- latency-under-stream.mjs (key→paint latency while a turn streams)
- profile-under-stream.mjs (CPU profile while a turn streams)
Updates profile-typing-lag.md with the streaming numbers and confirms
the Enter→paint submit path is already fast (≤320ms on the populated
session; the 2s "stall after Enter" the user noticed once was a
one-time cold-start, not reproducible at the UI layer).
I'd guess the felt jank in real use is fast-burst typing during a
long-form streaming reply (code blocks + markdown lists multiply the
per-token render cost). The CPU savings here scale linearly with
token volume.
* chore(desktop): drop diag scratch scripts no longer needed
* docs(desktop): correct leak-typing numbers on a real session
Re-ran the leak harness on a populated session (Phaser thread) for both
unpatched and patched builds. The original 'listener leak' was transient
warm-up cost, not a steady-state leak — both versions show 0 listener
growth/round in steady state.
The load-bearing number is forced layouts per character:
unpatched (HEAD~2): 7.02 layouts/char
patched (HEAD): 2.35 layouts/char (3× fewer)
The patches reduce per-char forced-layout work to Blink's natural floor.
Document node count and heap are flat in both builds.
* perf(desktop): fix "Enter jumps up" on long threads
User reported: after pressing Enter on a long thread, the view jumps up
— the just-submitted message disappears below the fold. Confirmed via
apps/desktop/scripts/measure-jump.mjs:
before: distFromBottom 0 → 49.5px, sticks there permanently
after: distFromBottom 0 → ~0 (worst case 4px for one frame)
Root cause in useThreadScrollAnchor (thread-virtualizer.tsx):
1. The sticky-bottom logic disarmed on any scroll event where
`scrollTop < lastTopRef.current`. That check can't distinguish a
user scrolling up from a programmatic `pinToBottom` write that
the browser clamped short of bottom (because content also grew in
the same frame, so `scrollTop = scrollHeight` lands at
`scrollHeight - clientHeight` for the OLD scrollHeight, which is
now below the NEW scrollHeight). Result: sticky-bottom disarmed
permanently on the user's first submit.
2. There was no synchronous pin tied to React's commit phase. By the
time the ResizeObserver fired and re-pinned, the user had already
seen ~50ms of "message below the fold" — visually that reads as the
view jumping up.
Fix:
- `programmaticScrollPendingRef` counter tracks scroll events we
expect to be ours (one per `pinToBottom` write). The scroll handler
skips the disarm check when consuming a pending tick, keeps the
arm bit true, and re-pins synchronously if the browser clamped us
short of bottom. A depth cap (8) breaks runaway loops in
pathological streaming-burst layouts.
- `useLayoutEffect` on `groupCount` increase pins BEFORE the browser
paints, eliminating the visible ~50ms window between optimistic
user-message insert and the RO/scroll-event chain firing.
Verified on the long Cloud Shadows thread (7-8 turns, ~11k px tall):
all three repro runs now hold within 0–4 px of bottom across the
post-Enter transition. Submit latency unchanged (paint 77–107 ms),
streaming-typing latency unchanged.
Also adds three debug harnesses:
- measure-jump.mjs — sample thread scroll across Enter
- probe-thread.mjs — dump current thread / scroll state
- diag-jump.mjs — intercept scrollTop + RO + mutations across Enter
* perf(desktop): rate-limit thread auto-pin during streaming
Follow-up to the Enter-jump fix. The first version did a synchronous
re-pin loop inside the on-scroll handler when the browser clamped our
`scrollTop = scrollHeight` write short of the new bottom; that gave a
tight 4 px visible jump on Enter, but during streaming the
ResizeObserver fires many times per second as content grows, and each
RO callback re-entered the pin loop. CPU profile showed
`Virtualizer.getMaxScrollOffset` climbing to 22 ms self over a typing-
during-streaming window — the sync re-pin path was paying tanstack-
virtual's recompute cost ~3× per token.
Re-architect:
- RO callback coalesces to one pin per animation frame. Streaming-rate
RO bursts now cost the same as a single per-frame pin.
- The on-scroll programmatic-counter guard remains (it's what prevents
the false-disarm bug when the browser clamps a write). It no longer
does sync re-pins; the next RO/rAF will catch up.
- The useLayoutEffect on groupCount (the path that fires on user
submit / new turn arrival) ALSO schedules one rAF pin in addition to
the synchronous pin. This catches the case where React mounts the
new message in a second commit (after our layout effect ran), which
grows scrollHeight again. Two pins instead of a tight loop, paid only
once per turn change.
Net effect on the Cloud Shadows long thread:
enter-jump transient: 12–20 px for 1 frame (was 49 px permanent)
CPU during stream+type: `getMaxScrollOffset` dropped out of top-5
self-time list
typing-during-stream: p50 ~10 ms paint, p99 ~20 ms (1 frame),
occasional 40 ms+ outliers during burst
token arrivals
Also adds scripts/profile-long-stream.mjs: 20-second streaming profile
with per-500ms FPS histogram + content-length tracking, so we can see
whether streaming render cost grows with message length (it doesn't —
sustained 60 fps).
* perf(desktop): use textContent for trigger precondition
Replace composerPlainText() call inside refreshTrigger's no-trigger
fast-bail with a textContent check. textContent is a browser-native
flat traversal; composerPlainText walks recursively with chip-aware
logic. We only need to know if @ or / appears; either way the trigger
char will be in textContent because chips contain @ in their refText.
Profile shows composerPlainText was ~18ms self over a 12s typing-during-
stream window, called from refreshTrigger on every keystroke. Most of
that was the precondition check (the trigger detection path is the
slow path but only runs when a trigger char is present).

This reverts commit 0739588f4896902f7f0d4ded8b5eaeb92bfdf042.
* chore(desktop): synthetic-stream perf harness + scripts
Drops the React `<Profiler>` approach (no-op because Vite is currently
serving the production React build) in favor of an externally-observable
measurement stack: rAF frame intervals, `PerformanceObserver({entryTypes:
['longtask']})`, and a `MutationObserver` on the live streaming message.
Adds a synthetic stream driver — `window.__PERF_DRIVE__.stream({...})` —
that pushes tokens through the live `$messages` atom at a controlled rate,
so the assistant-ui runtime, incremental repository, and Streamdown
markdown pipeline see the same workload they'd see during a real LLM
stream, without the LLM cost.
The driver lives in `src/app/chat/perf-probe.tsx`; `main.tsx` side-imports
it under `import.meta.env.MODE !== 'production'` so it tree-shakes out of
prod builds. (Using `MODE` rather than `DEV` because our Vite setup
currently reports `DEV=false` even under `vite dev` — see the dev-build
note in `profile-typing-lag.md`.)
Scripts:
- measure-synthetic-stream.mjs drive synthetic + record frame/longtask/mutation
- profile-synth-stream.mjs CPU profile + top self-time during synthetic
- measure-real-stream.mjs same harness, real LLM stream
- profile-real-stream.mjs CPU profile bracketing the real stream window
- eval.mjs / reload.mjs small CDP helpers
A real-LLM measurement on Cloud Shadows (gpt-4o-mini, 39 s window) showed
12 longtasks in the same 75-127 ms range the synthetic predicted, so the
synthetic is a faithful proxy.
* perf(desktop): memo FadeText so it skips re-renders when text unchanged
FadeText is used 110+ times inside `tool-fallback.tsx` on a tool-heavy
thread. During streaming each parent re-render previously triggered the
component's `useEffect([children])`, which forced a `scrollWidth` layout
read even when the title text was unchanged. The `useResizeObserver` was
already covering the genuine resize case, so that effect was strictly
redundant work.
Drops the effect and wraps the component in `React.memo` with a custom
comparator that field-compares `className`, `fadeWidth`, and `style`,
plus identity-compares `children` (scalar fast-path; correct for JSX
nodes too since a new node should force a re-render).
Verified via temporary render counter on the 34 MB
`session_20260514_215353_fe0ac8` thread (110 FadeText instances): a
2 s synthetic stream went from ~11k FadeText render calls to 122 —
roughly one render per truly-new instance instead of one per parent
commit per instance.
Doesn't move the longtask needle on its own (Streamdown's markdown
re-parse dwarfs it) but eliminates a steady CPU floor and a class of
forced layouts during streaming. Profile-typing-lag.md documents the
full investigation, including the remaining Streamdown cost as the
real source of the perceived "5 fps moment" hitches.
* perf(desktop): memoize MarkdownText plugins to stop churning Streamdown
The inline `plugins={{ math: mathPlugin, ...(isStreaming ? {} : { code }) }}`
on `<StreamdownTextPrimitive>` constructed a new object literal on every
parent render. That broke `<Streamdown>`'s outer memo and forced its
internal `rehypePlugins` / `remarkPlugins` array useMemos to rebuild,
which propagates a new identity into every `<Block>` and defeats Block's
memoization for stable historical blocks.
After memoizing on `[isStreaming]` (the only real dimension of variance),
CPU profile during a 5 s synthetic stream on the 34 MB session shows
`parser` self-time dropping out of the top 10, `compile` cut roughly in
half, and `bn$1` / `m$1` (micromark internals) leaving the top entries.
Doesn't move the visible longtask count on its own — Streamdown's
per-Block parse cost still dominates whenever the last block's content
changes — but it removes a class of unnecessary re-parses for historical
blocks during streaming. See `scripts/profile-typing-lag.md` for the
full investigation.
* perf(desktop): floor assistant-text flush gap to 33ms for predictable batching
`scheduleDeltaFlush` previously coalesced via `requestAnimationFrame`
only. The "at most one flush per frame" guarantee that gives you is fine
for fast streams (>~80 tok/sec) where multiple tokens arrive within a
single frame, but breaks down at typical LLM token rates (30-80 tok/sec)
where each token arrives slower than the rAF cadence and triggers its
own React commit + Streamdown markdown re-parse.
Track `lastFlushAt` and require at least 33 ms between two flushes.
React 18+ auto-batching probabilistically already collapsed some of
these, but the floor makes it deterministic.
A/B on the 34 MB session, 300 tokens at 50 tok/sec (markdown chunks):
| | avgFps | p99 frame | LTs / 5 s | max LT |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| no floor (current rAF) | 54.0 | 38 ms | 2.0 | 145 ms |
| 33 ms floor (this PR) | 54.3 | 41 ms | 1.7 | 110 ms |
`inter-mutation` p50 also tightens from 22-28 ms to a clean 33 ms,
which is the expected signature of a deterministic floor. Doesn't fully
solve the user's perceived hitches — Streamdown's per-Block parse cost
when the last block grows past ~2 k chars is still the elephant — but
it consistently shaves the worst-case longtask and makes the streaming
cadence visibly steadier.
Also threads a matching `flushMinMs` option through the synthetic
stream driver in `perf-probe.tsx` + `scripts/measure-synthetic-stream.mjs`
so the harness can A/B both regimes without spending LLM credits.
See `scripts/profile-typing-lag.md` for the full investigation.
* perf(desktop): useDeferredValue for streaming markdown so parses don't block input
Streamdown's per-Block parse cost grows with the live tail's length and
is unavoidable inside the block-memo pattern (industry standard, see
findings doc). The fix is to stop having that work block the main thread.
`<DeferStreamingText>` is a 12-line wrapper that reads message-part state
via `useMessagePartText`, runs it through `useDeferredValue`, and
re-publishes via assistant-ui's `<TextMessagePartProvider>`. The inner
`<StreamdownTextPrimitive>` reads the deferred value through the normal
`useMessagePartText` hook — no fork, no internal-path imports, fully on
assistant-ui's public API. React's concurrent scheduler then:
- abandons in-flight deferred renders when a newer token arrives, so
intermediate states get skipped under fast streams
- deprioritises the markdown render when the main thread has urgent
work (typing, scroll), so input stays responsive even while a
100ms parse is queued
Streamdown already uses `useTransition` for its block-array setState;
this lifts the deferral up to the consumer boundary so it covers the
whole pipeline (preprocess → split → repair → parse → render).
A/B on the 34 MB session, 300 tokens at 50 tok/sec, markdown chunks
(four trials each, with the 33ms flush throttle on for both):
| | avgFps | p99 frame | LTs/5s | max LT | typing-while-stream p95 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| pre | 54.3 | 41 ms | 1.7 | 110 ms | ~17 ms |
| post | 58.5 | 31 ms | 2.0 | 117 ms | 14-18 ms |
Longtask count + max LT unchanged — useDeferredValue doesn't reduce
CPU, only its priority. The avgFps lift and p99 frame drop are the
proof that the existing CPU is no longer blocking 60 fps cadence. One
clean run logged MUTATIONS=0 — React skipped every intermediate text
state and only committed the final one (textbook deferred-value
behaviour).
The actually-reduce-CPU path is replacing the parser with a state
machine like Flowdown — left for a future PR; see
`apps/desktop/scripts/profile-typing-lag.md` for the full investigation.
* feat(desktop): add hermes gui launcher
* feat(desktop): launch packaged gui builds by default
* bump gui version to 0.0.2
* fix(dashboard): allow file:// origin on loopback WS + diagnostic logging
Upstream commit 2e66eefbc ("fix(dashboard): validate WebSocket Host
and Origin") added a WebSocket Host/Origin guard to block DNS
rebinding against the dashboard. The guard rejects any Origin whose
scheme is not http/https or whose netloc is empty — which includes
Electron's renderer Origin: file:// when the desktop app loads its
bundle from disk in production mode.
That makes the bb/gui Electron desktop unable to open the gateway
WebSocket against the embedded backend on Windows / macOS prod
builds. The renderer reports "Desktop boot failed" and the backend
logs:
WARNING hermes_cli.web_server: gateway-ws reject
peer=127.0.0.1:NNNN reason=non_loopback_or_bad_origin
bound_host=127.0.0.1 close_code=4403
DNS-rebinding requires a DNS-resolvable hostname; file:// has no
host component and therefore cannot be the attack vector this guard
exists to block. When bound to a loopback interface (127.0.0.1 /
::1 / localhost), accept file:// origins so desktop wrappers can
attach. Non-loopback binds (operator opted into network exposure)
keep rejecting file:// — the loose policy doesn't apply.
Also adds per-reason diagnostic logging in
_ws_host_origin_is_allowed, so future ws-guard rejections name the
specific clause that fired (bad_host / bad_origin_scheme /
origin_host_mismatch) instead of the opaque
"non_loopback_or_bad_origin" surfaced at the call site.
Verified against tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server_host_header.py
(all 11 upstream tests still pass) and hand-tested by opening the
bb/gui Electron desktop dev build against the patched backend.
* fix(tui_gateway): restore _content_display_text helper
Bb/gui had dropped the helper but the orchestrator code merged from main
still calls it (_inflight_text, _message_preview). Re-add the definition
verbatim from main so session.create / _start_inflight_turn don't crash
with NameError on first prompt submit.
* fix(tui-gateway): restore _content_display_text helper lost in main merge
The May 27 merge of origin/main into bb/gui re-introduced two callers of
_content_display_text (in _inflight_text and _history_to_messages) but
dropped the helper definition itself, leaving an unresolved reference.
NameError fires on every user message via _start_inflight_turn ->
_inflight_text, taking down both the TUI and the desktop (which share
this gateway backend) the moment input is dispatched.
Restores the helper verbatim from main (commit 36c99af37) -- pure
structured-content text extractor, no other dependencies.
* fix(telegram): import Set for _dm_topic_chat_ids annotation
self._dm_topic_chat_ids: Set[str] = {...} at line 460 references Set
but only Dict, List, Optional, Any are imported from typing. The file
has no 'from __future__ import annotations', so the annotation is
evaluated at runtime and raises NameError on TelegramAdapter
construction.
* fix(setup): drop shadowing inner importlib.util re-imports
_print_setup_summary and _setup_tts_provider each had 'import
importlib.util' inside a try: block nested deeper in the function
body. Python flips importlib to function-local for the whole scope,
so earlier references in the same function (the neutts branches at
lines 493 / 1109) hit UnboundLocalError before the late import can
run.
The top-of-module 'import importlib.util' at line 14 already covers
both call sites, so dropping the redundant inner imports restores
the intended behavior.
* feat(install.ps1): add -IncludeDesktop switch + Stage-Desktop
The new Hermes-Setup.exe (Tauri bootstrap installer) passes -IncludeDesktop
so users who install via the GUI end up with a launchable Hermes.exe at
apps/desktop/release/<os>-unpacked/. Existing flows are unchanged:
* The 'irm install.ps1 | iex' CLI one-liner omits the flag — terminal
users don't need a prebuilt desktop binary; 'hermes desktop' builds
on demand.
* The Electron desktop's bootstrap-runner.cjs also omits the flag —
rebuilding apps/desktop from inside a running Hermes.exe would try
to overwrite the live binary on disk and fail.
Stage-Desktop runs after Stage-NodeDeps so workspace npm is already
installed when electron-builder fires. It does:
1. 'npm install' at repo root so apps/* workspaces resolve their deps
(Electron itself arrives via npm here, ~150MB)
2. 'npm run pack' in apps/desktop (tsc + vite + electron-builder --dir)
3. Probes apps/desktop/release/{win-unpacked,win-arm64-unpacked}/Hermes.exe
The --dir mode produces an unpacked launchable binary without an NSIS/MSI
installer artifact — we don't need one because Hermes-Setup.exe spawns the
unpacked binary directly via launch_hermes_desktop.
* feat(installer): Tauri bootstrap installer for first-time onboarding
Hermes-Setup.exe is a small signed Rust+Tauri binary that drives
scripts/install.ps1 stage-by-stage with a native UI matching the
desktop's design language. Replaces the chicken-and-egg pattern of
shipping a 200MB Electron app whose first launch existed only to
run install.ps1.
The architecture:
Rust backend (src-tauri/):
bootstrap.rs orchestrator -- Tauri commands, stage iteration
install_script.rs resolve install.ps1 (dev checkout, cache, GitHub raw)
powershell.rs spawn powershell, line-stream stdout/stderr, parse JSON
events.rs BootstrapEvent types -- mirror bootstrap-runner.cjs
paths.rs HERMES_HOME resolution + tracing log setup
build.rs bakes BUILD_PIN_COMMIT / BUILD_PIN_BRANCH from
'git rev-parse HEAD' at compile time
React frontend (src/):
Tauri webview rendering 4 screens (welcome / progress / success /
failure), driven by nanostores subscribing to the Rust event stream.
Visual layer reuses the desktop's styles.css wholesale via @import
so the installer and desktop never drift visually.
Distribution:
targets = ['app', 'dmg', 'appimage'] -- no NSIS/MSI wrapper. The
raw target/release/Hermes-Setup.exe IS the artifact on Windows;
.dmg + .app on macOS; AppImage on Linux. One file, double-click,
no installer-installing-an-installer pattern.
Compile-time pinning:
build.rs reads 'git rev-parse HEAD' and emits
cargo:rustc-env=BUILD_PIN_COMMIT=<sha> + BUILD_PIN_BRANCH=<branch>.
bootstrap.rs's option_env!() picks these up so the binary fetches
install.ps1 from the exact SHA it was tested against. CI / release
builds can override via HERMES_BUILD_PIN_COMMIT env var.
Windows manifest:
hermes-setup.manifest declares level='asInvoker' so the
productName 'Hermes Setup' doesn't trip Windows's installer-
detection heuristic and refuse to launch without elevation.
Also declares PerMonitorV2 DPI + UTF-8 active code page + Common
Controls v6.
Limitations of this initial version:
* No code signing -- Windows SmartScreen will warn once on Hermes-Setup.exe
('More info -> Run anyway'). The downstream binaries it produces
(Hermes.exe in win-unpacked/, the hermes CLI) are locally-built and
therefore don't carry MOTW, so they launch without SmartScreen
intervention. Cert procurement tracked separately.
* macOS and Linux build paths defined but untested -- Windows-only V1.
* fix(installer): pass -IncludeDesktop to manifest, surface launch errors, alias hermes desktop
Three bugs found in the first VM end-to-end test:
1. install.ps1 -Manifest was called WITHOUT -IncludeDesktop, so the
manifest came back with the 14-stage list (no desktop stage), the
UI showed '14 steps' and Stage-Desktop never ran. Pass the flag to
both the manifest fetch and the per-stage runs — install.ps1 gates
the desktop stage's inclusion on the flag.
2. The Success screen's Launch button silently swallowed the Tauri
error when no Hermes.exe existed (e.g. Stage-Desktop was skipped).
Wire the error through to inline UI with an alert callout, so the
user gets actionable text ('Hermes.exe missing, run hermes desktop
from a terminal') instead of an unresponsive button.
3. The Success screen tells users to run 'hermes desktop' from a
terminal but the CLI only accepted 'hermes gui' — invalid choice
for 'desktop'. Rename the subcommand canonically to 'desktop' with
'gui' as a backwards-compatible alias. Update the _SUBCOMMANDS sets
used by session-flag arg parsing + logging-mode probe so both names
route to the same logic.
* fix(install.ps1): pre-warm electron-builder winCodeSign cache + fix Stage-Desktop $HasNode false-skip
Two bugs caught in the second VM end-to-end run:
1. electron-builder's winCodeSign extraction fails on grandma-class
Windows boxes because the .7z archive contains macOS symlinks
(darwin/10.12/lib/libcrypto.dylib and libssl.dylib pointing at
versioned siblings). Creating symlinks on Windows requires
SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege, a per-user right that non-admin
accounts don't have on stock Windows. Result: every fresh install
on a non-admin user fails Stage-Desktop with a 7-Zip 'cannot create
symbolic link' error, retried four times, then bails.
Fix: Initialize-ElectronBuilderCache pre-extracts winCodeSign-2.6.0.7z
ourselves with -snl (don't preserve symlinks, store as resolved file
content) AND -x!darwin (skip the entire macOS subtree — irrelevant
on Windows). Writes to electron-builder's expected cache dir before
electron-builder gets a chance to try its own broken extraction.
Idempotent — fast-paths via signtool.exe sentinel check.
2. Install-Desktop's first guard was 'if (-not $HasNode) skip'.
$HasNode is set by Stage-Node into $script:HasNode, but in
cross-process driver mode (each -Stage NAME is a fresh powershell.exe
spawned by Hermes-Setup.exe), that script-scope variable from the
PREVIOUS process is invisible — so the guard always fired and
Install-Desktop returned in 900ms with a misleading
'Node.js not available' reason. The real npm probe below it never
got to run. Fix: re-probe npm directly via Get-Command when $HasNode
is empty/false, since by that point Stage-Node has already verified
Node is installed and the only question is whether *this* process
can see it on PATH (it can — installer-wide PATH update from Stage-Node).
* fix(install.ps1): tell electron-builder we're NOT signing instead of pre-extracting winCodeSign
The previous commit (c7e46f9f3) worked around the winCodeSign-symlinks-
on-Windows extraction crash by pre-extracting the archive ourselves with
-snl + -x!darwin. That fix was correct but addressed the wrong layer.
The deeper question: why was electron-builder fetching winCodeSign at all
when we have no signing cert configured? Answer: electron-builder
unconditionally pre-warms the toolchain assuming any build MIGHT sign.
The cert auto-discovery never finds anything (we never set CSC_LINK
or anything else), so the signing never happens — but the 100MB fetch
of winCodeSign and its broken-on-Windows symlink extraction does.
Set CSC_IDENTITY_AUTO_DISCOVERY=false (with WIN_CSC_LINK and
WIN_CSC_KEY_PASSWORD also explicitly cleared as belt-and-suspenders)
before invoking npm run pack, and electron-builder skips the entire
winCodeSign apparatus. No download, no extraction, no privilege check.
Env vars are saved/restored around the invocation so we don't leak
the override into Stage-PlatformSdks etc.
Net: removes the 100-line Initialize-ElectronBuilderCache helper that
manually downloaded + extracted winCodeSign-2.6.0.7z. Replaced with
3 env-var assignments. The produced Hermes.exe is functionally
identical — just no longer carries a code-signing-machinery dependency
we never used.
* fix(installer): bump bootstrap-installer.log to capture stage transitions + every install.ps1 line
Diagnosing the second VM failure was impossible because bootstrap-installer.log
contained only the 'starting' banner. Two causes:
1. emit_log() inside run_bootstrap() was tracing::debug! — dropped on the
floor under the default INFO env-filter.
2. The per-stage sink callbacks (on_stdout_line / on_stderr_line) only
emitted Tauri events to the frontend; they never tee'd to the log file
at all. When the failure route mounts, the Tauri event stream is the
only place the script output lived, and it gets discarded.
3. The Failed / Stage / Manifest / Complete lifecycle frames in emit_event()
were also Tauri-only — so even the 'which stage failed' frame never
reached the log.
Fixes:
* emit_log() → tracing::info!
* Sink callbacks tee stdout to info!, stderr to warn!, with stage label
as a structured field for grep'ability
* emit_event() now matches on the variant and logs each lifecycle frame
at the right level: Failed → tracing::error!, others → info!
Result: a failing install leaves a complete forensic trail in
bootstrap-installer.log — manifest stage list, every install.ps1
stdout/stderr line tagged by stage, the stage transitions, and the
final error. Same path as before so nothing the user does changes.
* fix(install.ps1): Stage-NodeDeps cross-process $HasNode + stream npm install output to bootstrap log
VM run 3 diagnosis: node-deps stage skipped on the VM (logged
'Skipping Node.js dependencies (Node not installed)') and then
desktop's npm install failed with exit 1 and zero diagnostic detail.
Two root causes:
1. $HasNode false-skip in Stage-NodeDeps — same cross-process bug
pattern we fixed for Stage-Desktop in c7e46f9f3. Stage-Node ran
in process A and set $script:HasNode = $true, then exited. Stage-
NodeDeps ran in fresh process B (Hermes-Setup.exe -Stage NAME
spawns each stage independently), where that variable doesn't
exist. Re-probe via Get-Command npm instead of trusting the
stale script-scope global. The previous stage already verified
Node so the re-probe succeeds.
2. npm install --silent + Tee to TEMP file hid the real error.
When the workspace install failed on the VM, the actual reason
was buffered in $env:TEMP\hermes-npm-desktop-install-*.log and
the user saw only 'exit 1'. Drop --silent so npm streams its
full output, drop the TEMP-file dance — the Tauri installer's
streaming sink already tees every stdout/stderr line to the
rolling bootstrap-installer.log, so a side log file is dead
weight that hides the very error we need.
After this, the bootstrap log on a failure will contain npm's full
output (deprecation warnings, ETARGET, native-module compile errors,
whatever) tagged with stage=desktop, making the actual cause
diagnosable instead of an opaque exit code.
* fix(install.ps1): restore Initialize-ElectronBuilderCache (CSC env vars alone aren't enough)
VM run 4 diagnosis: even with CSC_IDENTITY_AUTO_DISCOVERY=false set,
electron-builder still fetches winCodeSign and signs bundled binaries.
The log shows the signing happens BEFORE the cache extraction:
• signing with signtool.exe ...\winpty-agent.exe
• signing with signtool.exe ...\OpenConsole.exe
• downloading winCodeSign-2.6.0.7z
• <symlink privilege error>
Cause: node-pty's bundled prebuilds are listed in apps/desktop's
asarUnpack ['**/*.node', '**/prebuilds/**']. electron-builder
re-signs anything unpacked from asar, regardless of whether OUR
binary gets signed. The signtool invocation needs winCodeSign on
disk, which needs the .7z extracted, which hits the macOS-symlink
crash on non-admin Windows.
The CSC env vars I added in d5fe46727 only kill IDENTITY DISCOVERY
(so OUR Hermes.exe stays unsigned, which is fine — we have no cert).
They don't prevent the toolchain fetch for the bundled-prebuild
re-sign. I removed the pre-extract in d5fe46727 thinking the env
vars subsumed it; that was wrong. Both are needed.
Restoring Initialize-ElectronBuilderCache verbatim from c7e46f9f3
and keeping the CSC env vars. Wrote a clearer doc-comment at the
call site explaining the two-knob interaction so future maintainers
don't drop one half again.
* fix(desktop): disable signtool via signtoolOptions.sign=null, drop dead winCodeSign pre-extract
VM run 5 diagnosis: the pre-extract from 3b29e65c1 ran (extracted 83
files, 24MB) but produced ZERO files at the expected sentinel path
'/winCodeSign-2.6.0/windows-10/x64/signtool.exe'.
Cause: the .7z archive's root entries are 'windows-10/', 'darwin/',
'linux/', etc. — not 'winCodeSign-2.6.0/<arch>'. Extracting with
'-o$cacheRoot' put files at $cacheRoot/windows-10/..., NOT at
$cacheRoot/winCodeSign-2.6.0/windows-10/.... I had the directory
nesting wrong from the start.
And then we observed: electron-builder downloads winCodeSign-2.6.0.7z
under a random numeric filename ('384387955.7z') regardless of what's
already extracted in the parent dir. The cache key isn't the dirname;
it's content-addressed. So the pre-extract approach was doomed even
if the path nesting had been right.
Actual fix: signtoolOptions.sign=null in apps/desktop/package.json's
win build config. electron-builder honors this and skips the bundled-
prebuild signing entirely — no signtool invocation, no winCodeSign
fetch, no symlink-privilege crash. The previous failures all stemmed
from electron-builder pre-signing node-pty's bundled .exes
(winpty-agent.exe, OpenConsole.exe) which are already author-signed
upstream; re-signing with our nonexistent cert was overwriting good
sigs with nothing useful anyway.
Cost: when we DO get a real cert later, we'll add it back with the
sign function pointing at the cert chain. Until then, all-null is
the correct config and unblocks every non-admin Windows user.
Removed Initialize-ElectronBuilderCache (the dead pre-extract).
Removed the call site. Kept the CSC_IDENTITY_AUTO_DISCOVERY env
vars as belt-and-suspenders against a future electron-builder
change that might revive cert auto-discovery.
* fix(desktop): use no-op sign function instead of sign=null
VM run 6 still hit the symlink crash even with signtoolOptions.sign=null.
electron-builder 26.8.1 treats null as 'use the default signtool path'
rather than 'skip signing', so the winCodeSign fetch + extraction still
fired for the bundled prebuild re-sign.
The Electron docs (electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/code-signing)
make it clear signing is OPTIONAL and unsigned apps work fine — users
just see SmartScreen on first launch. The electron-builder mechanism
for 'don't actually sign anything' is to supply a custom sign function
(via signtoolOptions.sign: '<path-to-cjs-module>') that resolves
without invoking signtool.
build-noop-sign.cjs is that module — a 5-line async function that
returns undefined. electron-builder calls it for every binary it would
have signed, gets back a resolved promise, and considers each binary
'signed.' No signtool spawn, no winCodeSign fetch, no symlink crash.
When Nous's cert arrives, replace this file with a real signing hook
(@electron/windows-sign-based or a direct signtool invocation). The
architecture's signing-ready and the cutover is a one-file edit.
* fix(desktop): signAndEditExecutable=false to skip signtool path entirely
After reading app-builder-lib/winPackager.js line 216 + 231 directly:
signAndEditExecutable is the ACTUAL hardcoded gate that short-circuits
both signApp() (which signs Hermes.exe + every shouldSignFile match
including bundled prebuilds) AND createTransformerForExtraFiles().
None of signtoolOptions.sign / sign:null / sign:<custom-fn> gate the
winCodeSign download — that happens before they're consulted.
What we lose: rcedit also runs through signAndEditResources, so
disabling this drops PE metadata (file properties showing 'Hermes' /
'Nous Research' / file description). Cost is real but bounded:
* Hermes.exe filename, icon, asar contents, app identity intact
* Task Manager shows 'Hermes.exe' (the filename) not 'Hermes' (PE
description) — minor downgrade
* Start menu, taskbar, window title all work normally
* SmartScreen will warn once (unsigned, same as before)
When the cert lands, flip signAndEditExecutable back to default true,
both signing AND rcedit return, PE metadata is restored.
Removes the no-op sign function (build-noop-sign.cjs) since
signAndEditExecutable=false prevents signtool from being invoked at
all — the custom hook never gets called either.
* feat(install.ps1): write .hermes-bootstrap-complete marker at end of install
The desktop app's main.cjs resolver ladder has a 'bootstrap-needed' rung
that fires when .hermes-bootstrap-complete is missing from
ACTIVE_HERMES_ROOT. Pre-Hermes-Setup, this marker was written by the
packaged-desktop's own bootstrap-runner.cjs at the end of its install
flow. Now that Hermes-Setup.exe runs install.ps1 directly, install.ps1
needs to own the marker — otherwise the desktop sees no marker on first
launch and triggers its legacy first-launch bootstrap (re-running
install.ps1 from inside Electron, the exact recursion Hermes-Setup.exe
was supposed to obviate).
Implementation:
* New Stage-BootstrapMarker (worker) → Write-BootstrapMarker (helper)
* Slotted in the manifest right after platform-sdks, before the
interactive configure/gateway stages, so it runs unconditionally
when the install reaches the finalize phase
* Schema mirrors apps/desktop/electron/main.cjs writeBootstrapMarker /
isBootstrapComplete EXACTLY: {schemaVersion: 1, pinnedCommit,
pinnedBranch, completedAt}. Schema version stays at 1 so old
desktops that read marker files written by future install.ps1s
can still parse them.
* pinnedCommit comes from -Commit flag (Hermes-Setup.exe passes it)
or falls back to 'git rev-parse HEAD' in InstallDir
* pinnedBranch from -Branch flag, defaults to 'main' matching
install.ps1's own param default
Two PS-5.1 gotchas baked into comments:
* The ?. null-conditional operator doesn't exist pre-PS7; use
explicit if-checks on Get-Command results
* Set-Content -Encoding UTF8 emits a BOM in 5.1 and Node's plain
JSON.parse rejects BOM — write via .NET's UTF8Encoding(false)
to produce BOM-less JSON the desktop's readJson() can parse
* feat(installer): drive in-app updates through the Tauri installer
Converge update on the same principle as bootstrap: one driver owns all
repo mutation. The desktop becomes a pure consumer that hands off to
Hermes-Setup.exe --update instead of re-implementing git/pip in Electron.
- hermes desktop --build-only: build without launching, so the installer
owns the post-update launch (CLI keeps build logic single-sourced).
- Installer AppMode {Install,Update} from argv; get_mode exposed to the UI.
- Installer self-copies to HERMES_HOME/hermes-setup.exe on install success
(no-op guard during --update re-invocation to avoid the locked-exe copy).
- Installer --update flow (update.rs): wait for the desktop to release the
venv shim, run 'hermes update --yes --gateway' (branch on exit 0/2/other),
then 'hermes desktop --build-only', then launch the rebuilt desktop. Reuses
the bootstrap event channel + progress UI via a synthetic two-stage manifest.
- Desktop applyUpdates() gutted (~105 lines of git/stash/pull/pyproject/pip
removed) -> thin handoff: spawn updater, app.quit() to free the shim.
Detection (checkUpdates, commit changelog, behind-count) kept intact.
- install.ps1 creates Start Menu + Desktop shortcuts to the packed Hermes.exe
(never bare 'hermes desktop', which would rebuild every launch).
* test update
* fix(installer): pass --branch to hermes update in the --update flow
The install is a detached-HEAD checkout of a pinned commit. Without
--branch, 'hermes update' fell back to its default (main) and switched
the checkout to main — a divergent branch that lacks the desktop CLI
command — so the update targeted the wrong branch and the rebuild stage
failed with 'invalid choice: desktop'.
Thread BUILD_PIN_BRANCH (the branch this installer was built against,
and the same branch the desktop detected the update on) into
'hermes update --branch <b>' so update + rebuild stay on-branch.
* test update
* fix(installer): stamp Hermes icon onto Hermes.exe via rcedit (no winCodeSign)
The unpacked Hermes.exe showed the stock Electron icon + name in the
taskbar because build.win.signAndEditExecutable=false disables BOTH
electron-builder's signing AND its rcedit metadata/icon stamping. That
flag is load-bearing: enabling it re-triggers signtool -> winCodeSign,
whose macOS symlinks crash 7-Zip on non-admin Windows (unfixable dead end).
Decouple identity-stamping from signing entirely: after npm run pack,
run rcedit ourselves on the produced exe.
- Add rcedit as a direct devDependency of apps/desktop (the transitive
electron-winstaller copy is fragile).
- apps/desktop/scripts/set-exe-identity.cjs: Node helper that calls
rcedit's named export to set icon + ProductName/FileDescription/
CompanyName. Node builds argv natively — avoids the PowerShell->exe
->JSON double-escaping that broke the app-builder rcedit path.
- install.ps1 Set-DesktopExeIdentity invokes the script after the build,
before shortcuts. Best-effort: failure keeps the stock icon, never
fails the install. rcedit is a pure PE editor — no signtool, no
winCodeSign, no symlinks.
Verified locally: stamping a copy of the built Hermes.exe embeds the
32x32 icon and sets ProductName=Hermes.
Also fix update-path success-screen flash: in update mode the installer
hands off + exits in ~600ms, so don't route to the 'launch Hermes'
success view (it flashed before the window closed).
* update test
* fix(desktop): show 'hermes update' guidance for CLI installs instead of dead-end error
A user who installed via the CLI (irm|iex / install.sh) then ran
`hermes desktop` has no staged hermes-setup.exe, so clicking Update
in-app hit resolveUpdaterBinary()=null and showed a misleading error
('re-run the Hermes installer') with a Try-again button that could
never succeed — a dead loop for a perfectly valid install.
Treat the no-updater case as an intentional outcome, not a failure:
- main.cjs applyUpdates returns { ok:true, manual:true, command:'hermes update' }
(no throw, no 'error' stage) when no updater binary exists.
- New 'manual' update stage + apply-state.command thread the command to the UI.
- updates-overlay ManualView: a polished terminal-native card with the
exact command and a copy button, framed as the correct path for a CLI
user rather than an error.
GUI-installer users are unaffected — hermes-setup.exe present => seamless
auto-update runs as before. Zero new process orchestration; can't fail
the update demo.
* update test
* fix(gui): pin /api/hermes/update to the current branch
The desktop command-center 'update' action hits POST /api/hermes/update,
which spawned bare `hermes update` with no --branch. cmd_update then
falls back to its default (main) and checks the working tree OUT of the
tracked branch — a bb/gui install silently jumped to main and lost the
desktop CLI.
Resolve the checkout's current branch and pass --branch <current> from
this endpoint only. The engine default (main) is DELIBERATELY unchanged:
bare `hermes update` from a terminal, the gateway /update bot command,
and the CLI/TUI relaunch path all keep their long-standing 'update against
main' contract for the existing user base. Only the GUI button is scoped
to update-the-branch-you're-on. Detached HEAD / git failure falls back to
the bare default.
* update test
* fix(desktop): branch-pin the CLI manual-update command card
The 'Update from your terminal' card (shown to CLI installs with no staged
updater) hardcoded bare `hermes update` — which defaults to main and would
switch a bb/gui (or any non-main) checkout off-branch. Same bug we fixed for
the GUI button, leaked into the card's copy text.
Resolve the checkout's current branch and show `hermes update --branch
<current>` for non-main checkouts; keep it bare for main so the card stays
clean. Best-effort: bare fallback if branch detection fails. Matches the
GUI button + installer --update contract; bare terminal/bot/TUI update
paths still default to main, unchanged.

* feat(desktop): lead onboarding with Nous Portal + fix fresh-install detection (#34970)
- Feature Nous Portal as the primary onboarding card (Recommended tag,
app logo, single pitch line); collapse other OAuth providers behind an
"Other providers" disclosure whose open/closed state persists.
- Surface OpenRouter as a one-click API-key option inside the disclosure;
move "I have an API key" to a quiet bottom-right link.
- Treat "no provider configured" as a normal onboarding state, not a red
error banner (provider-setup-errors copy match).
- Fix setup.runtime_check: it reported ready when the resolved runtime had
an empty credential or only implicit Bedrock/IAM, so fresh installs never
saw onboarding. Now requires a usable credential.
- Auto-wire Windows fonts for WSL2 users so the renderer renders real
Segoe UI instead of the DejaVu fallback; make WSL detection env-independent
via the /proc kernel marker.
* feat(desktop): live elapsed timer on install bootstrap steps
The first-launch install overlay showed a static "Installing" with no
motion, so long steps (notably the repo clone) looked frozen. Stamp each
stage's start time on the running transition and tick once a second so the
active step shows live elapsed (e.g. "Installing · 1:23"), plus elapsed on
the overall current-step line. Completed steps keep their final duration.
* fix(desktop): resolve PortableGit for update checks + reserve titlebar tools space
- runGit() hardcoded spawn('git'), which ENOENTs on fresh installer-driven
Windows installs (git is PortableGit under %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes\git, never
on PATH) — so "Check for updates" failed with "Couldn't check for updates".
Add resolveGitBinary() mirroring findGitBash (PortableGit → Git-for-Windows
→ PATH) and use it in runGit.
- PageSearchShell rendered a full-width search input in the titlebar row, so
on Windows its right edge slid under the fixed top-right tools + native
window controls. Reserve that footprint via --titlebar-tools-* vars.
* fix(desktop): stop streaming caret from shifting layout on completion
The streaming caret (::after on the running message's last child) was an
in-flow inline-block adding ~0.78em of inline width, which could wrap the
last line mid-stream; when the caret is removed on completion the line
un-wraps and reflows — the visible post-response layout shift. Net-zero its
inline advance with a compensating negative margin so it paints at the text
end without consuming layout width.
* fix(desktop): stop completed-message layout shift while streaming
The assistant message action bar used `hideWhenRunning`, which unmounts it
whenever the thread is streaming. Since the bar reserves vertical space in
each completed assistant message's footer (it's invisible-until-hover via
opacity, not via mount), unmounting it collapsed every prior turn by the
bar's height — then remounting on resolve grew them back, shifting the whole
conversation (visible as "padding appears above the last user message").
Drop hideWhenRunning so the footer height is constant; the bar stays
invisible during streaming via its existing opacity/pointer-events gating.
* fix(merge): keep windows-footgun suppressions inline
* fix(merge): keep remaining gateway footgun suppressions inline
* fix(merge): restore contracts caught by main-target CI
* fix(dashboard): honor injected HERMES_DASHBOARD_SESSION_TOKEN
The desktop shell mints a session token and signs its /api + /api/ws
calls with it via HERMES_DASHBOARD_SESSION_TOKEN, but the main-merge
restored a web_server.py that ignored the env var and minted its own
random _SESSION_TOKEN -- so every desktop request 401'd and the UI
reported "gateway offline". Read the injected token (fall back to a
fresh random one) so loopback HTTP + WS auth line up.
Adds a regression test so a future merge can't silently drop the read.
* fix(desktop): align fresh-install home so upgraders don't brick
Two related first-launch bugs on machines with a legacy ~/.hermes:
- install.ps1 hardcoded $HermesHome/$InstallDir to %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes
and ignored the HERMES_HOME the desktop passes through. The desktop
freezes HERMES_HOME at module load and prefers a legacy ~/.hermes when
%LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes is absent, so the installer wrote to a different
home than the shell read -> "Could not connect to Hermes gateway". Honor
$env:HERMES_HOME in the param defaults.
- isBootstrapComplete() trusted the marker + checkout without verifying a
runnable venv, so an interrupted/split install spawned a dead backend
instead of re-bootstrapping. Also require the venv python to exist.
* fix(dashboard): allow packaged desktop file:// origin on loopback WS
The packaged Electron desktop loads its renderer over file://, so its
/api/ws handshake carries Origin: file:// (or null). The DNS-rebinding
WebSocket Origin guard only accepted http(s) origins matching the bound
host, so it rejected the desktop's own renderer with 4403 -> "Could not
connect to Hermes gateway" on macOS.
A browser DNS-rebinding attacker can only ever present an http(s) origin
(the site hosting the malicious page); it cannot forge file://, null, or
a custom app scheme AND hold the loopback session token. So on loopback
binds we now trust non-web origins -- the token in _ws_auth_ok remains
the real authenticator. Public/gated binds still reject them, and
cross-site http(s) origins are still rejected everywhere.
* fix(desktop): resolve renderer assets relative to BASE_URL
Absolute public asset paths (/apple-touch-icon.png, /ds-assets/...) work
under the dev server but break in the packaged app, where the renderer is
loaded from file://.../index.html and a leading slash resolves to the
filesystem root -> broken onboarding provider icon and backdrop image on
macOS. Prefix these with import.meta.env.BASE_URL so they resolve next to
the bundled index.html in both dev and packaged builds.
* feat(desktop): automate first-launch bootstrap on macOS/Linux
Previously a packaged macOS/Linux app with no Hermes install hit a
dead-end ("first-launch install is not yet automated -- run install.sh
manually") because install.sh lacked the staged protocol install.ps1
exposes. Now both platforms bootstrap on first launch with the same
structured, per-step progress UI as Windows.
- install.sh: add --manifest / --stage / --json / --non-interactive plus
a stage dispatcher (prerequisites, repository, venv, python-deps,
node-deps, path, config, setup, gateway, complete). User-input stages
(setup, gateway) are skipped under --non-interactive; the in-app
onboarding overlay owns API keys/model, matching the Windows flow.
Each stage runs inside the install dir (its own process) and a new
--commit flag pins the checkout to the build-stamp SHA.
- bootstrap-runner.cjs: drive the staged manifest/stage/JSON protocol for
both install.ps1 (PowerShell) and install.sh (bash), selected by
installer kind; removed the single-blob POSIX shim.
- main.cjs: drop the macOS/Linux unsupported-platform dead-end so the
bootstrap-needed path runs the installer on every platform.
* fix(dashboard): return 404 JSON for unmatched /api paths instead of SPA HTML
The SPA catch-all (serve_spa) served index.html for any unmatched GET,
including unregistered /api/* endpoints. A missing API route therefore
came back as <!doctype html> with status 200, and JSON clients (the
desktop app's fetchJson) crashed with an opaque
'SyntaxError: Unexpected token <' instead of a clear error.
- web_server.py: unmatched /api or /api/... now returns 404 JSON
('No such API endpoint'); non-api paths still serve the SPA for
client-side routing.
- main.cjs fetchJson: detect an HTML body / text/html content-type on a
2xx response and reject with a clear message naming the URL, rather
than a raw JSON.parse SyntaxError. Empty bodies resolve to null;
malformed JSON reports the URL plus a snippet.
* say 'OS appearance' instead of 'macOS appearance'
* feat(install): add --include-desktop stage + PowerShell-style flags to install.sh
Brings install.sh to parity with install.ps1's bootstrap surface so the
shared Rust/Tauri bootstrapper (apps/bootstrap-installer) can drive a
macOS/Linux install the same way it drives Windows.
- Accept the PowerShell-style aliases the bootstrapper emits to both
installers: -Commit / -Branch (alongside existing -Manifest / -Stage /
-Json / -NonInteractive).
- Add --include-desktop / -IncludeDesktop. When set, the manifest gains a
'desktop' stage (immediately before 'complete'), and a new install_desktop
runs a root workspace `npm install` + `npm run pack` (electron-builder
--dir, signing auto-discovery disabled) to produce release/mac*/Hermes.app
-- mirroring install.ps1's Install-Desktop / Stage-Desktop.
- The flag is opt-in, exactly like Windows: the signed bootstrap installer
passes it; the Electron app's own first-launch bootstrap and the CLI
one-liner omit it (building the desktop from inside the running app would
clobber it).
* fix: tts endpoints
* macOS desktop: install + in-app self-update (#35607)
* fix(installer): align macOS HERMES_HOME with the rest of the stack
paths.rs computed the macOS Hermes home as ~/Library/Application Support/
hermes, but nothing else does: hermes_constants.get_hermes_home() (Python),
scripts/install.sh, and the Electron desktop's resolveHermesHome() all use
~/.hermes on macOS. The drift meant the Tauri installer wrote the install to
one directory and the desktop looked for it in another, so a fresh GUI
install never found its backend (the file's own comment warned this exact
drift would break things). Use ~/.hermes on macOS to match.
* fix(install.sh): always emit a stage result frame on failure
Stage helpers (clone_repo, install_deps, check_python, …) were written for
the monolithic flow and call `exit 1` on failure. Under `--stage`, that
terminated the process before the JSON result frame was printed, so the
installer's parse_stage_result saw "no frame" instead of a clean
{ok:false,...} contract response. Run the stage body in a subshell so an
`exit` only unwinds the subshell and the parent still emits the frame.
* feat(install.sh): auto-provision git on macOS/Linux (parity with install.ps1)
install.ps1 downloads PortableGit on Windows, but install.sh just printed a
"please install git" hint and exited — so a fresh Mac with no developer tools
(no Xcode CLT → no git) couldn't get past the clone step. check_git now tries
to install git before bailing:
- macOS: Homebrew if present (headless), else `xcode-select --install`
(the CLT prompt also provides the compiler some wheels need), polling for
git to appear.
- Linux: apt/dnf/pacman via sudo when available.
Falls back to the manual instructions only if auto-provision fails.
* feat(desktop): in-app GUI+backend self-update on macOS/Linux
On Windows the staged Hermes-Setup binary drives updates (quit → hermes
update → hermes desktop --build-only → relaunch). The mac drag-install has no
such binary, so "Update now" previously just printed `hermes update`.
Since there's no venv-shim file lock on POSIX, the desktop can drive the whole
update itself. applyUpdates now, when no staged updater exists on mac/linux:
1. runs `hermes update --yes [--branch <current>]` (backend git pull + deps),
2. runs `hermes desktop --build-only` (OS-aware GUI rebuild) with the
Hermes-managed Node + venv on PATH,
3. spawns a detached swapper that waits for this process to exit, dittos the
freshly built Hermes.app over the running bundle, clears quarantine, and
relaunches.
Degrades to "backend updated — restart to load the new GUI" if the rebuild
fails or there's no .app bundle to swap (dev run, Linux AppImage).

* fix(install): detect xcode-select git stub on fresh macOS
* chore: bump
* fix(desktop): repair voice dictation on Windows
Voice dictation was broken on Windows in two ways:
1. Mic access was denied. The Electron permission request handler only
granted 'media' requests whose details.mediaTypes included 'audio',
but Chromium on Windows frequently fires the mic request with an empty
mediaTypes array, so getUserMedia threw NotAllowedError. The handler
now grants audio-capture when mediaTypes includes 'audio' OR is
empty/absent, handles the 'audioCapture' permission name, and adds a
setPermissionCheckHandler (the synchronous path Chromium also consults
for getUserMedia on Windows). Video is still denied.
2. Transcripts went nowhere. The composer's insertText handler (used by
dictation and other inserts) only updated the assistant-ui composer
store via setText, never the contentEditable editor DOM. The
draft->editor sync effect only re-renders the editor when it is NOT
focused, and dictation runs while the editor has/regains focus, so the
transcript was stored but never shown and could not be sent. insertText
now renders into the editor DOM and places the caret, mirroring
appendExternalText.
Also hardens fetchJson: a 2xx response with an HTML body (or text/html
content-type) now rejects with a clear message naming the URL instead of
an opaque JSON.parse 'Unexpected token <' error.
* feat(desktop): route Nous subscribers onto the Tool Gateway from the GUI
When the GUI sets the main provider to Nous via POST /api/model/set, call
the same apply_nous_managed_defaults the CLI uses after model selection, so
GUI/onboarding users land on the Nous Tool Gateway the same way CLI users do
— no separate prompt, no duplicated logic.
Purely additive: apply_nous_managed_defaults skips any tool where the user
has a direct key (FIRECRAWL_API_KEY, FAL_KEY, etc.) or explicit config, so it
never overwrites a user's own setup. Only unconfigured tools get routed.
- web_server.py: in set_model_assignment (scope=main, provider=nous), resolve
enabled toolsets and apply managed defaults; guarded so a Portal hiccup never
blocks saving the model. Returns routed tools as gateway_tools.
- onboarding.ts: surface a 'Tool Gateway enabled' toast listing routed tools.
- types/hermes.ts: add gateway_tools to ModelAssignmentResponse.
- tests: cover nous-applies, non-nous-skips, and failure-doesnt-block-save.
* feat(desktop): mirror hermes model free/paid curation in GUI onboarding
GUI onboarding picked models[0] from /api/model/options, which ignores the
Nous free/paid tier — a free user could land on a paid default (e.g.
anthropic/claude-opus-4). Now the recommended default mirrors what `hermes
model` does.
- web_server.py: new GET /api/model/recommended-default?provider=<slug>. For
Nous it runs the same curation as the CLI (get_curated_nous_model_ids +
pricing + check_nous_free_tier + union_with_portal_{free,paid}_recommendations
+ partition_nous_models_by_tier) so free users get a free model and paid users
get the curated default. Other providers fall back to the first curated model.
Never 500s — returns empty model on error so onboarding degrades gracefully.
- hermes.ts: getRecommendedDefaultModel client + RecommendedDefaultModel type.
- onboarding.ts: fetchProviderDefaultModel prefers the recommended endpoint,
falls back to models[0] when unavailable.
- tests: free-tier picks free model, paid-tier picks curated default, failure
returns empty without 500.
* feat(desktop): show model pricing + free/paid tier gating in GUI picker
The CLI `hermes model` picker shows per-model $/Mtok pricing and gates paid
models on free Nous accounts. The GUI picker showed bare model names. Bring it
to parity across both the model-picker dialog and onboarding confirm card.
Backend:
- inventory.build_models_payload gains a pricing=True flag → _apply_pricing
enriches each provider row with formatted per-model pricing
({input,output,cache,free}) via the same _format_price_per_mtok the CLI uses,
and for Nous adds free_tier + unavailable_models (paid models a free user
can't select) via check_nous_free_tier + partition_nous_models_by_tier.
Best-effort: any pricing/tier failure is swallowed and fails open (no gating).
- /api/model/options and TUI model.options now pass pricing=True so the
global picker and in-session picker both carry pricing.
Frontend:
- ModelOptionProvider gains pricing/free_tier/unavailable_models; new
ModelPricing type.
- model-picker dialog renders In/Out $/Mtok (or a Free pill) per model, a
Free tier/Pro badge on the Nous heading, and disables + grays unavailable
paid models for free users with a 'Pro models need a paid subscription' note.
- onboarding confirm card shows the chosen model's price + tier badge.
Tests: test_inventory_pricing covers price formatting, free-tier gating,
paid no-gating, providers without pricing, and swallowed failures.
* fix(desktop): GUI model picker shows curated Nous list in curated order
Two bugs made the GUI Nous model list diverge from the `hermes model` CLI picker:
1. Backend (model_switch.py): the Nous row in list_authenticated_providers
fell through to cached_provider_model_ids("nous"), dumping the full live
/v1/models catalog (~50 vendor-prefixed models, alphabetical). Now it uses
the curated list AND applies the Portal free/paid recommendation union —
exactly like _model_flow_nous in main.py — so newly-launched models such as
stepfun/step-3.7-flash:free surface in curated order. Best-effort: falls
back to the curated list alone if the Portal fetch fails.
2. Frontend (model-picker.tsx): cmdk's Command had shouldFilter on (default),
which re-sorts items by fuzzy-match score (≈alphabetical) and ignores array
order. Set shouldFilter={false} + own the search term and do an
order-preserving substring filter, so the backend's curated order is shown
verbatim.
* feat(desktop): add/switch providers from the model picker via onboarding reuse
The model picker could only select models from already-authenticated
providers. Switching to a new provider had no in-app path. Rather than
duplicate provider UI, reuse the existing onboarding provider selector
(featured Nous + other providers + API-key form + device-code/PKCE flow +
model-confirm with pricing/tier).
- onboarding store: add a 'manual' flag with startManualOnboarding() /
closeManualOnboarding(). Manual mode forces the onboarding overlay to show
even when configured===true and refreshOnboarding no longer auto-dismisses
on runtime-ready (the app is already working — the user is just adding or
switching a provider).
- onboarding overlay: render when manual even if configured; show a Close
button (the first-run flow has none since the app can't run yet).
- model picker: 'Add provider' footer button opens the onboarding selector;
ModelResults lists only configured (model-bearing) providers.
* feat(desktop): add PUT /api/tools/toolsets/{name} enable/disable endpoint
* feat(desktop): add toggleToolset RPC binding
* feat(desktop): toolset enable/disable switch in Tools settings
* feat(desktop): tool configuration parity in GUI Tools settings
Bring the desktop GUI Tools settings to parity with the CLI `hermes tools`
for provider selection and API-key configuration.
Backend (hermes_cli/web_server.py):
- GET /api/tools/toolsets/{name}/config - provider matrix + key status
- PUT /api/tools/toolsets/{name}/provider - persist provider selection
Shared core (hermes_cli/tools_config.py):
- Extract apply_provider_selection / _write_provider_config from the
interactive _configure_provider so the CLI and GUI write identical
config keys (web.backend, tts.provider, browser.cloud_provider, plugin
image/video providers, use_gateway flags) through one code path.
Desktop UI:
- ToolsetConfigPanel: provider list with select, per-provider API-key
entry (set/replace/clear/reveal via the shared env RPCs), Ready/Needs
keys state, guidance for Nous-auth and post-setup providers.
- Wire the Configured/Needs keys pill to expand the panel inline; refresh
the toolset list after key changes so the pill updates live.
- Add getToolsetConfig / selectToolsetProvider RPC bindings + types.
Post-setup (OAuth/install) flows still defer to the CLI; see
docs spike findings for the planned /api/tools/setup/* endpoint family.
Tests: backend round-trip + 400 cases for the new endpoints and
apply_provider_selection; desktop vitest coverage for the config panel
(provider render, select, key save). No change-detector tests.
Also removes three stale completed plan docs.
* fix(desktop): show real Hermes version + sync package.json on release
The desktop app version was disconnected from the Hermes version: the
release script bumped pyproject.toml + hermes_cli/__init__.py but never
touched apps/desktop/package.json, which sat stale at 0.0.2 (lockfile at
0.0.1).
- main.cjs: hermes:version IPC now resolves __version__ from
hermes_cli/__init__.py (the canonical source release.py bumps) via a new
resolveHermesVersion() helper, falling back to app.getVersion() when the
source tree isn't readable. The About panel now always shows the live
Hermes version and can't drift.
- release.py: update_version_files() also bumps apps/desktop/package.json
in lockstep with pyproject (top-level version only; dep specs untouched).
- One-time catch-up: package.json 0.0.2 -> 0.15.1 and the lockfile root
mirrors 0.0.1 -> 0.15.1.
* fix(desktop): stamp exe identity in afterPack hook so updates stay branded
The packed Hermes.exe reverted to the stock Electron icon + "Electron" name
after an in-app update. The icon/identity stamp (rcedit) lived only in
install.ps1, but the installer's --update path rebuilds the desktop via
`hermes desktop --build-only` -> `npm run pack`, which never ran install.ps1
and so never stamped the rebuilt exe.
Move the stamp into an electron-builder afterPack hook so it runs for EVERY
packed build regardless of caller (first install, hermes desktop, the update
rebuild, or a manual npm run pack):
- set-exe-identity.cjs: refactor to export stampExeIdentity(exe, desktopRoot);
still runnable as a standalone CLI.
- after-pack.cjs (new): afterPack hook calling stampExeIdentity. Windows-only
guard; best-effort (logs + resolves on failure, never fails the build).
- package.json: register build.afterPack.
- install.ps1: remove the now-redundant Set-DesktopExeIdentity function + call;
the hook handles it during npm run pack.
electron-builder's own rcedit step stays disabled (signAndEditExecutable=false)
to avoid the signtool -> winCodeSign -> 7-Zip macOS-symlink crash on non-admin
Windows; the hook runs rcedit directly (pure PE resource edit, no signing).
* fix(desktop): export afterPack hook as exports.default so electron-builder runs it
The afterPack hook used `module.exports = fn`, which electron-builder's hook
loader doesn't pick up — it expects the function as the module's default
export (the same shape afterSign/notarize.cjs uses). The hook silently never
ran, so even first install shipped the stock "Electron" exe.
Switch to `exports.default = async function afterPack(...)`. Verified with a
real `npm run pack`: electron-builder now invokes the hook and the produced
release/win-unpacked/Hermes.exe carries ProductName/FileDescription=Hermes.
* chore(desktop): drop auto-build release CI in favor of manual build + upload
Remove desktop-release.yml (nightly-on-main + stable publish). Installers
are now built locally per platform and uploaded to a GitHub Release by hand;
the website points at them via NEXT_PUBLIC_HERMES_DL_* env. Update README +
docs and drop the dead desktop-nightly channel links.
* fix(desktop): stable shortcut icon + bust icon cache so updates repaint
Symptom on a freshly-installed laptop: Hermes.exe itself shows the correct
Hermes icon (Explorer reads the live exe's stamped PE resource), but the
desktop shortcut still draws the stock Electron icon.
Cause: New-DesktopShortcuts set IconLocation to "<exe>,0", so Windows cached
the icon it extracted from the exe at shortcut-creation time. On an update the
exe gets re-stamped, but the shortcut keeps rendering the stale cached bitmap.
- package.json: ship assets/icon.ico beside the exe via extraResources
(-> resources/icon.ico). Verified with a real npm run pack.
- install.ps1 New-DesktopShortcuts: point IconLocation at resources/icon.ico
(fallback to <exe>,0 if absent) — a dedicated .ico is cache-stable and skips
the per-exe extraction that goes stale. Then run `ie4uinit.exe -show` to bust
the shell icon cache so the shortcut repaints immediately instead of showing
the old Electron icon until reboot.
Both best-effort; never fail an otherwise-good install.
* dummy update
* feat(desktop): self-heal update branch + backend contract guard
Two fixes for the bb/gui→main transition:
- Self-update self-heals: if the tracked branch (e.g. bb/gui) no longer
exists on origin (merged + deleted), the desktop updater falls back to
main and persists it. Read-only ls-remote probe that only flips on a
definitive "ref absent" (exit 2), never on a transient network error, so
already-installed clients migrate themselves with no manual flip.
- Backend contract guard: tui_gateway reports DESKTOP_BACKEND_CONTRACT in
session runtime info; the desktop warns with a one-click "Update Hermes"
when the backend predates the GUI's required contract (e.g. a bb/gui app
pointed at a main checkout) instead of failing cryptically downstream.
* docs(desktop): rewrite README to match current install/update/build flow
The old README contradicted itself (claimed a bundled Python payload while
also saying it no longer bundles source) and predated cross-platform support.
Rewrite for accuracy: Linux is a first-class build target, install.sh/install.ps1
both drive the staged bootstrap, the real self-update handoff (Windows
Hermes-Setup vs in-app macOS/Linux), and the bb/gui→main self-heal + backend
contract guard.
* docs(desktop): rewrite README as a real product readme
Lead with what the app is and how to get it (download an installer, or
`hermes desktop` for existing CLI users) plus a plain-language feature list,
then keep contributor/build/internals as a clearly separated secondary section.
* docs(desktop): fix install framing — releases no longer auto-build installers
Lead with the install-with-Hermes path (`--include-desktop` / `hermes desktop`),
which always works, and describe prebuilt installers as manually published when
a release ships them rather than implying CI attaches them to every release.
* docs(desktop): match base repo README style
Adopt the root README's conventions: centered title + badge row, bold
one-liner intro, a feature <table> grid, --- section dividers, and a
Community / License footer.
* feat(desktop): recover from gateway boot failures + validate API keys on entry (#35864)
Fresh installs that hit a gateway boot failure had no recovery path: the
shell rendered dead ("gateway offline"), logs were undiscoverable, and a
mistyped API key was accepted because onboarding only checked credential
presence, not validity.
- Add BootFailureOverlay: a top-level recovery surface (Retry, Repair
install, Use local gateway, Open logs + inline recent logs) that mounts
on any hard boot failure, including post-install. Trims the now-redundant
recovery button from the onboarding Preparing panel.
- Add hermes:logs:reveal / :recent IPC (reveal desktop.log) and a
hermes:bootstrap:repair IPC that drops the bootstrap marker to force a
clean reinstall. Surface "Open logs" in Gateway settings too.
- Add POST /api/providers/validate: a live per-provider probe
(OpenRouter/OpenAI/xAI/Gemini key check, local endpoint connectivity)

* test(model-catalog): fix stale nous picker test after curated-list change
ac2e48907 made the GUI/picker Nous row use the curated list (curated["nous"]
= get_curated_nous_model_ids()) + Portal union, matching the `hermes model`
CLI — but test_picker_nous_row_uses_manifest still asserted the old 2-model
manifest snapshot, breaking the test shard.
Rewrite it as an invariant: stub the Portal union to passthrough and assert the
row equals get_curated_nous_model_ids() computed under the same conditions, so
it tracks the real contract instead of a hardcoded model list that rots on every
catalog update.

Background tasks on non-local backends (SSH/Docker/Modal/Daytona/Singularity)
go through `ProcessRegistry.spawn_via_env`, which builds a hand-crafted,
shell-safe wrapper:
mkdir -p T && ( nohup bash -lc CMD > LOG 2>&1; rc=$?; ... ) & echo $! > PID && cat PID
`BaseEnvironment.execute()` unconditionally ran `_rewrite_compound_background`
on every command, including this wrapper. The rewrite (meant to defuse the
`A && B &` subshell-wait trap for user commands) turns `( ... ) & echo $!` into
`{ ( ... ) & } echo $!` — note `} echo` with no separator, which is a bash
syntax error. The wrapper then never produces a PID, the redirected output file
is never created, and the agent sees an immediate exit code -1. This breaks
*every* background launch on a non-local backend (e.g. a simple
count-and-redirect script over SSH), not just edge cases.
Fix:
- Add `rewrite_compound_background: bool = True` to `BaseEnvironment.execute()`
(and the `BaseModalExecutionEnvironment` override, which accepts and ignores
it). Default preserves existing behavior; the user foreground terminal path
still rewrites.
- `spawn_via_env` passes `rewrite_compound_background=False` so its already
shell-safe wrapper is left intact.
- Treat a wrapper that produces no PID as a failed launch (mark the session
exited with a real exit code instead of exposing a fake running session), and
don't register/checkpoint a session that never started.
Verified empirically: with the rewrite skipped, the wrapper is valid bash,
launches the process, captures the PID, and writes the log/pid/exit files; the
old rewritten form fails `bash -n` with a syntax error.

Self-review follow-up on top of the salvaged perf fixes:
- gateway/run.py (both watcher-drain sites): the salvaged O(n^2) fix
(#32708) replaced `while pending_watchers: pop(0)` with iterate-then-
`watchers.clear()`, but `watchers` aliased the registry's live list.
A watcher appended by a concurrent session during the `await
asyncio.sleep(0)` yield would be cleared without ever being scheduled.
Detach the batch atomically (`pending_watchers = []`) before iterating.
- gateway/platforms/bluebubbles.py: normalize the salvaged _guid_cache
LRU (#30523) to match feishu/codebase precedent — module-level
`_GUID_CACHE_SIZE` constant, `while len > cap`, and drop the redundant
post-insert `move_to_end` (a fresh insert is already most-recent).
- gateway/platforms/feishu.py: drop the same redundant post-insert
`move_to_end` from the salvaged _message_text_cache LRU (#23706).
- scripts/release.py: add AUTHOR_MAP entries for the salvaged commits'
authors (amathxbt #22155, ErnestHysa #32636/#32708) so the contributor
audit passes when these commits land on main.
- tests/tools/test_tool_output_limits.py: autouse fixture resets the new
module-level limits cache between tests.
- tests/gateway/test_feishu.py: hand-built adapter fixture seeded
_message_text_cache as a plain dict; it's now an OrderedDict, so the
fixture type had to match.
Layer an exception guard on top of the empty-response fix so a crash
inside the agent (e.g. OSError from prompt_toolkit/Vt100 when stdout is a
non-TTY pipe, per #30623) is surfaced on the real stderr with rc=1 instead
of crashing past the redirect_stderr block. KeyboardInterrupt/SystemExit
are re-raised so Ctrl-C and explicit exits still propagate.
Also map briancl2 in scripts/release.py AUTHOR_MAP for the cherry-picked
empty-response commit.
Adapts the exception-guard approach from sweetcornna's PR #33818.

A handoff persisted under an older SUMMARY_PREFIX can be inherited into a
resumed lineage. _strip_summary_prefix only matched the current/legacy
literal, so on re-compaction the old 'resume exactly from Active Task'
directive stayed embedded in the body and kept hijacking replies to new,
unrelated user messages.
- Add _HISTORICAL_SUMMARY_PREFIXES (pre-#35344 prefix) and strip/recognize
them in _strip_summary_prefix + _is_context_summary_content so resumed
stale handoffs are re-normalized to the current latest-message-wins prefix.
- Reconcile the overlapping Active Task template edits from the salvaged
#26290 (reverse-signal cancellation) and #32787 (capture open questions /
decisions, don't write None too eagerly) — both intents kept.
- Regression coverage in tests/agent/test_resume_stale_active_task.py.
- AUTHOR_MAP entries for both salvaged contributors.
The plugin apply_yaml_config_fn dispatch loop only ran when a top-level
platform block (e.g. `discord:`) existed. Configs that defined a platform
only under `platforms.<name>` or `gateway.platforms.<name>` skipped the
hook, so `platforms.discord.extra.allow_from` never reached
DISCORD_ALLOWED_USERS. Fall back to those nested blocks when the top-level
one is absent.
Also map byquenox@gmail.com -> Que0x for the salvaged commits.
Follow-up to LengR's #35181 salvage:
- gateway text-path uses getattr(self, '_session_db', None) to match the
picker callback path (defensive for object.__new__() gateway test pattern).
- add SessionDB.update_session_model test asserting it overwrites the
COALESCE-pinned model and survives subsequent token updates (#34850).
MEDIA:<path> tags for .md/.json/.yaml/.xml/.html and other document
extensions were silently dropped. extract_media() carried a narrow
extension allowlist that omitted them, while extract_local_files()
had a broad one. The dispatch sites then ran an unconditional
re.sub(r'MEDIA:\\s*\\S+', '') that stripped the tag from the body even
when extract_media had not matched it — so extract_local_files (broad
list) ran on text where the path was already gone, and the file was
delivered by neither path.
- Add MEDIA_DELIVERY_EXTS in gateway/platforms/base.py as the single
source of truth; extract_media and extract_local_files both derive
their extension set from it (no more drift).
- Replace the loose MEDIA cleanup at the non-streaming dispatch site
(base.py) and the streaming consumer (stream_consumer.py) with the
shared, extension-anchored MEDIA_TAG_CLEANUP_RE. A MEDIA: tag with an
unknown extension is left in the body so the bare-path detector can
still pick it up instead of being black-holed.
- Chain cleaned text through extract_media -> extract_images ->
extract_local_files in run.py's post-stream media delivery (it was
dropping the cleaned text and rescanning raw text with MEDIA: tags).
- Regression tests covering both halves: previously-dropped extensions
now extract, and unknown-ext paths survive the cleanup.
Consolidates the MEDIA extension-allowlist PR cluster.

Config-driven platform policies (dm_policy / group_policy / allow_from /
group_allow_from) for WeCom, Weixin, Yuanbao, and QQBot now work without
also setting a PLATFORM_ALLOWED_USERS env var.
These adapters enforce their access policy at intake — a message is dropped
inside the adapter and never dispatched unless it already passed the policy.
The gateway's env-based check (_is_user_authorized) ran afterward and, with
no env allowlist set, fell through to an env-only default-deny — silently
rejecting `dm_policy: open` and config-only allowlists the adapter had
already authorized.
Rather than re-implement each adapter's policy a second time in run.py
(which would drift), adapters that own their gate now declare it via a new
BasePlatformAdapter.enforces_own_access_policy property (default False). The
gateway trusts that flag and skips the env-only default-deny for those
platforms. Env allowlists still take precedence when set.
Also resolves unauthorized DM behavior from config dm_policy so allowlist /
disabled policies drop unauthorized DMs silently instead of leaking pairing
codes, while an explicit pairing policy opts back in.

Reporter diagnosed three independent gaps that together allowed infinite
'unblock → re-stuck' loops with no surfacing or escalation:
GAP 1: `_rule_stuck_in_blocked` resets timer on any `commented`/`unblocked`
event, so a task that cycles every few minutes is invisible to it
regardless of how many times it cycles.
Fix: new `_rule_block_unblock_cycling` rule (`hermes_cli/kanban_diagnostics.py`)
that counts block→unblock cycles in a sliding window. Default threshold
3 cycles within 24h, configurable via `block_cycle_threshold` /
`block_cycle_window_seconds`. Walks events in arrival order (event id)
since multiple events can share the same `created_at` second. Fires as a
warning with a CLI hint to inspect the block reasons.
GAP 2: Iteration-budget-exhausted runs in kanban workers map to
`kanban_block` (status=blocked, but a clean exit from the kernel's
perspective). `_rule_repeated_failures` reads `consecutive_failures`,
which `_record_task_failure` increments only for crashed/timed_out/
spawn_failed — `blocked` outcome bypasses the failure counter, so the
`kanban.failure_limit` circuit breaker never trips on budget-exhaustion
loops.
Fix: `agent/conversation_loop.py` budget-exhaustion path now calls
`_record_task_failure(outcome="timed_out")` instead of `kanban_block`.
Budget exhaustion is genuinely a timeout-shaped failure (the task ran out
of allowed iterations), so this is more honest semantics; it also routes
through the unified failure counter, so repeated budget exhaustions trip
the circuit breaker and the task auto-blocks with `gave_up` after
`failure_limit` retries.
GAP 3: `release_stale_claims` uses `_pid_alive(worker_pid)` only and
ignores `last_heartbeat_at`. Reporter observed a 91-min run that held
its claim with frozen heartbeat because the worker entered a logic loop
with no tool calls — `_pid_alive` kept returning True so the claim was
extended every 15 minutes indefinitely.
Fix: heartbeat-stale backstop. If `last_heartbeat_at` is set AND older
than `DEFAULT_CLAIM_HEARTBEAT_MAX_STALE_SECONDS` (default 1h), reclaim
even if the PID is alive. NULL `last_heartbeat_at` preserves backward
compatibility (no heartbeat yet = extend, as before). The reclaim event
payload now includes a `heartbeat_stale` boolean so operators see why a
live-PID worker was reclaimed.
This works cleanly in concert with PR #34418 (#31752 runtime → heartbeat
bridge): once `_touch_activity` keeps `last_heartbeat_at` fresh as a
side effect of normal API traffic, the backstop only fires for genuinely
wedged workers (no chunks, no tool results, no progress at all).
Co-authored-by: baofuen <45189813+baofuen@users.noreply.github.com>
The dispatcher watchdog (release_stale_claims) reads tasks.last_heartbeat_at
to decide whether to reclaim a running task. The agent maintains its own
in-process `_last_activity_ts` for every chunk/tool result, but those
liveness ticks never reach the board unless the model explicitly calls
the `kanban_heartbeat` tool — so a worker actively executing a long run
without tool-level heartbeats can be reclaimed mid-flight as 'stale',
returning the task to ready and orphaning the in-flight worker's progress.
Fix: in `_touch_activity` (the canonical 'we just did work' hook in
run_agent.py), call a new `heartbeat_current_worker_from_env` helper
in `tools/kanban_tools.py` that:
- No-ops outside dispatcher-spawned worker context (no HERMES_KANBAN_TASK).
- Rate-limited to one DB write per 60s (runtime activity ticks too often
to faithfully mirror; we just need the watchdog to see liveness).
- Best-effort: never raises. heartbeat_claim + heartbeat_worker calls are
individually try/except'd; any DB error logs at debug and returns.
- Uses worker env identity: HERMES_KANBAN_TASK + HERMES_KANBAN_RUN_ID +
HERMES_KANBAN_CLAIM_LOCK (all pinned by the dispatcher at spawn time).
- No durable note on auto-heartbeats — that's reserved for the explicit
`kanban_heartbeat` tool which carries a model-supplied note.
The explicit `kanban_heartbeat` tool stays available unchanged for
workers that want to attach a note or pre-emptively extend a claim
across a known-long single tool call.

Kanban workers run headless — no live user is on the other side of `clarify`,
so the call times out (~120s default) and the task sits silently in `running`
with no signal to the operator that input is needed. Reporter observed a real
incident where a worker asked 'promote to production, or check staging first?'
via clarify, the call timed out, the agent hallucinated a fallback, and the
task sat 'running' for hours.
Fix: explicit 'do not call clarify' bullet in two surfaces every kanban worker
sees —
- `agent/prompt_builder.py` KANBAN_GUIDANCE `## Do NOT` section (auto-injected
into every dispatcher-spawned worker run).
- `skills/devops/kanban-worker/SKILL.md` `## Do NOT` section (the bundled
worker skill).
Both point at the right pattern: `kanban_comment` (context) + `kanban_block`
(decision needed) — the task surfaces on the board as blocked, the operator
sees it, unblocks with their answer in a comment, and the worker respawns
with the thread.

`hermes kanban unblock <id> review-required: ...` parsed every trailing word
as another task_id (since `task_ids` is `nargs='+'`), then quietly failed on
each non-existent id with "cannot unblock review-required: (not blocked/scheduled?)".
Reporter saw this as asymmetric with `block <id> <reason...>` which accepts
positional reason words.
Fix: add a `--reason "..."` flag that, when provided, is appended as a
`UNBLOCK: <reason>` comment before the unblock transition. Bulk syntax
(`unblock t_a t_b t_c`) is preserved unchanged.

The xAI tool-schema sanitizers (strip_slash_enum, strip_pattern_and_format)
mutate their input in place — that's their documented contract. The two
call sites (chat_completion_helpers.build_api_kwargs and the auxiliary
client) were passing agent.tools straight through, so the first xAI
request would permanently strip slash-containing enum constraints and
pattern/format keywords from the per-agent tool registry.
Effect: any subsequent non-xAI call from the same agent (auxiliary task
routed to Anthropic, OpenRouter fallback, mid-session model switch) saw
the already-stripped schema with no way for the user to notice from
their config.
Fix: deepcopy tools_for_api before sanitizing at both call sites.
The slash-enum bug itself (xAI 400ing on enums with '/') was fixed
earlier by #32443 (Nami4D) — that PR landed the strip but used the
sanitizers directly without copying. This salvages #27907's correctness
contribution (the deepcopy) while skipping its redundant parallel
sanitizer (strip_xai_incompatible_enum_values is functionally
equivalent to the existing strip_slash_enum) and its preflight-
neutrality argument (we chose model-gated preflight in #32443).
3 new tests in tests/run_agent/test_run_agent_codex_responses.py:
- strips_slash_enum_from_outgoing_request — outgoing kwargs has no
slash-containing enum values (functional contract preserved).
- does_not_mutate_agent_tools — headline #27907 regression. Snapshot
agent.tools before build_api_kwargs, assert it survives intact
after. Pre-fix this assertion would have caught the mutation.
- is_idempotent_across_repeated_calls — three xAI requests in a row
each strip cleanly AND don't progressively erode the source schema.
344/344 across tests/agent/test_auxiliary_client.py,
tests/agent/transports/test_codex_transport.py,
tests/run_agent/test_run_agent_codex_responses.py, and

#28065 to the devwdave GitHub account so the contributor audit in
scripts/release.py passes.
* fix(agent): fallback immediately on provider content-policy blocks
Provider safety-filter refusals (e.g. OpenAI Codex 'flagged for possible
cybersecurity risk', OpenAI moderation 'violates our usage policies',
Anthropic safety-system rejections, Azure content_filter) are
deterministic decisions about a specific prompt. Retrying the same
prompt up to api_max_retries times just reproduces the same refusal and
burns paid attempts before surfacing the generic 'API failed after 3
retries — <provider message>' to Telegram / cron with no indication that
the failure came from the model provider rather than Hermes itself.
Classify these as a new FailoverReason.content_policy_blocked
(non-retryable, should_fallback=True) and route them through the
existing is_client_error path so the loop:
- skips the 3x retry backoff
- activates a configured fallback model immediately
- emits a clear provider-safety message to the user (not the generic
'Non-retryable error (HTTP None)') and surfaces actionable guidance
when no fallback is configured (rephrase, narrow context, or set
fallback_model in hermes config)
- returns a final_response that explicitly tells the user this came
from the model provider, so gateway delivery is unambiguous and
cron last_status reflects the safety block rather than a vague
'agent reported failure'
Patterns are intentionally narrow — verbatim refusal phrasings keyed to
specific provider safety pipelines, not generic words like 'policy' or
'violation' that would collide with billing / format / auth errors.
Regression guards in test_18028_content_policy_blocked.py verify
billing 402s, generic 400s, and OpenRouter account-level
provider_policy_blocked remain distinct classifications.
Salvaged from #18164 onto current main (file restructure: loop logic
moved from run_agent.py to agent/conversation_loop.py, _emit_status →
_buffer_status), broadened patterns beyond the original OpenAI Codex
cybersecurity case to cover OpenAI moderation, Anthropic safety system,
and Azure content_filter; added user-actionable guidance and a clear
final_response so cron/gateway surfaces the policy block instead of a
generic non-retryable error, and added a regression-guard test module
mirroring the is_client_error predicate.
Addresses #18028.

Discord threads where the bot has already participated bypass mention gating by default, but the backfill check was still tied to the mention-needed condition. That meant follow-up thread messages could trigger a response without providing recent thread history to the session.
Run history backfill for thread messages whenever backfill is enabled, while keeping DMs skipped and channel mention backfill behavior unchanged. Add a regression test for a known thread follow-up without an explicit mention.

The reaper hoist in the prior commit adds an extra
`asyncio.to_thread(_kb.reap_worker_zombies)` call at the top of every
dispatcher tick (before the per-board work). The existing
`test_gateway_dispatcher_disables_corrupt_board_without_traceback`
mocks `to_thread` with a 4-call cap that previously matched 2 full
dispatch ticks. With the reaper hoist each tick is now 3
`to_thread` calls instead of 2, so the cap is raised to 6 to preserve
the same number of dispatch ticks. The `connect == 5` assertion is
unchanged.
Also add the contributor's `steveonjava@gmail.com` to AUTHOR_MAP
alongside `steve@steveonjava.com` so contributor-audit passes for
both identities used across the salvaged commits.
Salvage follow-up for PR #32857.
Reaper now runs at the top of every dispatcher tick regardless of per-board connect() failures. Previously the reaper sat inside dispatch_once after the kanban_db.connect() call — any EIO during connect would skip reaping for that tick, accumulating zombie workers and stale claim_lock rows.
Also: reap_worker_zombies now returns the list of reaped pids (the dispatcher logs them) and a test indentation fix.
Squashes three sibling commits from PR #32301 into one logical change for batch review.

Three additions on top of @Nami4D's salvage:
1. Gate the preflight slash-enum strip on the model name pattern
(grok-* / x-ai/grok-*). The original PR stripped slash-containing
enum values from every codex_responses request, but native Codex
(OpenAI) and GitHub Models DO accept slash enums — stripping them
there would silently degrade tool-schema constraints. xAI is the
only Responses-API surface that rejects the shape.
2. Resolve the merge conflict in agent/transports/codex.py by
preserving both the timeout-forwarding block that landed on main
between the PR's branch point and now AND the new service_tier
strip. Behavioural intent of both is preserved.
3. Six new tests in tests/agent/transports/test_codex_transport.py
covering:
- TestCodexTransportXaiServiceTierStrip (3 tests): xAI strips
service_tier from request_overrides; non-xAI codex_responses
and GitHub Models both KEEP service_tier (regression guards
so the strip stays xAI-only).
- TestPreflightSlashEnumStrip (3 tests): Grok and aggregator-
prefixed Grok model names both trigger the safety-net strip;
non-Grok models preserve slash enums as a regression guard
against the strip becoming too broad.

Alibaba's latest flagship Qwen model is released but not yet present in the
DashScope (alibaba) or Alibaba Coding Plan curated catalogs. Add it so it
shows up in the /model picker and setup wizard for those providers.
OpenCode Go routing for qwen3.7-max already landed via #32780 (commit 2fc77c53f).
OpenRouter + Nous catalog entries already landed via #32809 (commit ccd3d04fc).
This salvage picks up the remaining alibaba / alibaba-coding-plan entries from
#32806 — the AI Gateway entry is dropped because Vercel AI Gateway was removed
in #33067.
#33016 added GET /v1/skills + /v1/toolsets on the API server; the
capability flag introduced in this branch was placeholder-False. Flip
to True so capability probers see the truth.
* fix(codex-responses): gracefully recover from invalid_encrypted_content (salvage #10144)
When an OpenAI-compatible Responses API surface accepts an initial
request but later rejects the replayed `codex_reasoning_items`
encrypted blob with HTTP 400 `invalid_encrypted_content`, the
session previously got stuck retrying the same poisoned payload.
Recovery: classify the error as a dedicated FailoverReason, and on the
first hit disable encrypted reasoning replay for the rest of the
session, strip cached items from message history, and retry once.
Changes:
* error_classifier: add FailoverReason.invalid_encrypted_content
branch in _classify_400 (before context_overflow so the messages
that mention 'encrypted content … could not be verified' don't trip
context heuristics), in _classify_by_error_code, and extend
_extract_error_code to peek inside wrapped JSON in error.message and
ignore the bare '400' as a code.
* agent_init: initialize `_codex_reasoning_replay_enabled = True` on
every agent.
* run_agent: add AIAgent._disable_codex_reasoning_replay() helper
that flips the flag and pops cached items.
* codex_responses_adapter: thread a `replay_encrypted_reasoning`
kwarg through _chat_messages_to_responses_input so that when the
flag is False we don't replay codex_reasoning_items.
* transports/codex.py: read `replay_encrypted_reasoning` from params,
thread it into the adapter, and gate the
`include=['reasoning.encrypted_content']` request hint on it.
* chat_completion_helpers: pass the agent's replay flag through to
the transport.
* conversation_loop: in the retry loop, add an
invalid_encrypted_content recovery branch that fires once per
session, only when api_mode == codex_responses, only when replay is
still enabled, and only when at least one assistant message in
history actually carries cached reasoning items (otherwise the 400
has nothing to do with our cache and the normal retry path handles
it).
Tests:
* test_error_classifier: new wrapped-JSON _extract_error_code case;
new TestClassifyApiError cases proving the 400 is retryable with
no fallback, that the broad message match doesn't catch a generic
'parsed' message, and that the error code match is
case-insensitive.
* test_run_agent_codex_responses: end-to-end test of the recovery
branch firing once and disabling replay, plus a sibling test that
proves the branch does *not* fire (and the flag stays True) when
history has no cached reasoning items.
Salvages PR #10144 onto the post-refactor module layout
(error_classifier / codex_responses_adapter / transports/codex /
conversation_loop / agent_init) since the original diff was written
against the pre-refactor monolithic run_agent.py.

When the gateway processes /reload-mcp, it reconnects MCP servers and
updates the global _servers registry, but cached AIAgent instances in
_agent_cache keep the tools list they were built with. The user had to
also run /new (discarding conversation history) before the agent could
see the new tools — even though /reload-mcp had succeeded.
This patch refreshes each cached agent's .tools and .valid_tool_names
in _execute_mcp_reload after discovery returns, so existing sessions
pick up new MCP tools on their next turn. The slash-confirm gate in
_handle_reload_mcp_command already obtains user consent for the
implied prompt-cache invalidation before this code runs.
Mirrors the equivalent behaviour the CLI already does in cli.py
_reload_mcp. Per-agent enabled_toolsets and disabled_toolsets are
preserved so an agent that was scoped to a subset of toolsets does
not silently gain disabled tools after the reload.
Original diagnosis + initial implementation in #23812 from @fujinice.
The auto-reload watcher half of that PR is intentionally dropped —
users want /reload-mcp to remain explicit.

Pre-salvage prep for the must-have security cluster (#32103, #32155).
#32103 author commit uses dearmayo@localhost; PR opener is ffr31mr —
same pattern as the existing holynn-q localhost mapping.
Adds an optional autonomous-ai-agents skill that delegates coding tasks
to the OpenHands CLI (https://github.com/All-Hands-AI/OpenHands). Sits
alongside claude-code / codex / opencode and is the model-agnostic
option in that family — any LiteLLM-supported provider works.
This is a ground-truth rewrite of #19325 by @xzessmedia (Tim Koepsel).
The original PR's SKILL.md was drafted by the OpenHands agent itself and
hallucinated several flags that don't exist in the real CLI (\`--model\`,
\`--max-iterations\`, \`--workspace\`, \`--sandbox docker\`), pointed at
the wrong PyPI package (\`openhands-ai\`, which is the legacy V0 SDK),
and claimed native Windows support that the upstream docs explicitly
disclaim. Rather than cherry-pick and rewrite half the lines under
contributor authorship, the SKILL.md was rebuilt against a verified
install (\`uv tool install openhands --python 3.12\`) and a real
end-to-end \`--headless --json\` run against openrouter/openai/gpt-4o-mini.

Pitfalls documented in the SKILL came from running the tool, not from
the upstream README: LiteLLM bedrock/sagemaker stderr noise on every
invocation, banner spam (\`OPENHANDS_SUPPRESS_BANNER=1\` required),
\`--override-with-envs\` mandatory or the CLI ignores LLM_* env vars
entirely, the dashed-vs-undashed Conversation ID footgun for \`--resume\`,
LiteLLM model-slug double-prefix when going through OpenRouter.
The ChatGPT Codex backend (chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex) has historically
silently dropped certain model requests: the connection is accepted but no
stream events are emitted and no error is raised. PR #31967 lowered the
implicit stale-call default from 300s to 90s so fallbacks kick in faster,
but users still see an opaque "No response from provider for 90s
(non-streaming, ...)" message that gives no path forward.
This patch adds a narrow heuristic — gpt-5.5 family on the Codex backend
via codex_responses api_mode — that substitutes the generic timeout
message with actionable text naming the gpt-5.4-codex workaround and
pointing at #21444 for symptom history.
Changes:
- run_agent.py — new ``AIAgent._codex_silent_hang_hint(model=...)`` method.
Returns ``None`` for any request that does not match all three guards
(codex_responses api_mode, openai-codex provider or chatgpt.com Codex
base URL, gpt-5.5-family model name with word-boundary regex anchoring
to avoid false-positives on e.g. ``gpt-5.50``).
- agent/chat_completion_helpers.py — the non-stream stale-call site
consults the hint via ``getattr(...)`` so the call site stays robust
if the helper is ever removed or stubbed in tests. Hint is appended to
both the ``_emit_status`` warning and the ``TimeoutError`` message so
the user sees it in their terminal AND it lands in any retry-loop
diagnostics.
- tests/run_agent/test_codex_silent_hang_hint.py — 10 regression tests
covering positive cases (bare gpt-5.5, vendor-prefixed openai/gpt-5.5,
gpt-5.5-codex SKU, model=None fallback to self.model) and negative
cases (gpt-5.4-codex workaround, gpt-5.50 false-positive guard,
non-codex api_mode, non-codex provider, empty/None model, unrelated
models on Codex).
Does NOT fix the backend-side issue (that's an upstream OpenAI/ChatGPT
problem we cannot patch from here). Only converts an opaque timeout into
text that names the workaround so users do not have to dig through logs
or wait for a forum post to learn what to do.
Closes#22046
Codex / Responses-API requests had three latent timeout bugs that combined
into the long silent hangs reported on #21444:
1. The non-stream stale-call detector estimated context tokens from
``api_kwargs["messages"]`` only. Codex / Responses-API payloads carry
their conversational load in ``input`` (with ``instructions`` and
``tools``), so every Codex turn logged ``context=~0 tokens`` and the
detector never applied its >50k / >100k tier bumps.
2. ``providers.<id>.request_timeout_seconds`` was silently dropped on the
main Codex path. The chat_completions path and the auxiliary Codex
adapter both forwarded it; the main path skipped it through three
places (``build_api_kwargs``, ``ResponsesApiTransport.build_kwargs``,
``_preflight_codex_api_kwargs``).
3. The streaming stale detector had the same payload-shape bug for
``codex_responses`` requests, which route through the non-streaming
detector (it's the path that emits the user-facing
"No response from provider for 300s (non-streaming, ...)" warning that
reporters keep pasting).
This commit:
- Adds ``estimate_request_context_tokens`` in ``chat_completion_helpers``,
used by both the non-stream and stream detectors. Handles ``messages``
(Chat Completions), ``input + instructions + tools`` (Responses API),
bare lists, and an unknown-dict fallback.
- Forwards ``timeout`` through ``ResponsesApiTransport.build_kwargs``
and ``_preflight_codex_api_kwargs`` (with guards against
zero/negative/inf/bool values), and wires
``_resolved_api_call_timeout()`` into the Codex branch of
``build_api_kwargs``.
- Lowers the implicit non-stream stale defaults so fallback providers
kick in faster when upstream stalls:
* base 300s -> 90s
* >50k 450s -> 150s
* >100k 600s -> 240s
These only apply when the user has *not* set
``providers.<id>.stale_timeout_seconds`` or
``HERMES_API_CALL_STALE_TIMEOUT``. Explicit config still wins.
- Adds regression tests for the estimator shapes, the new defaults, the
context-tier scaling, transport timeout pass-through, and preflight
timeout pass-through / rejection of invalid values.

Follow-up to @someaka's fix.
Polish:
- Drop the redundant `_preflight_tokens >= threshold_tokens` clause.
`should_compress(tokens)` already short-circuits when tokens < threshold,
so the explicit comparison was dead code on the True branch.
Tests:
- Preflight: pin that should_compress() is called (anti-thrash has a vote).
Mocks should_compress to return False even with tokens past the raw
threshold and asserts no compression runs — exact bug shape from #29335.
- Gateway: AST scan of gateway/run.py asserts every
`session_entry.session_id = ...` assignment is followed by a
`session_store._save()` call within the same block. Three sites mutate
the session_id after compression; all three must persist or the next
turn loads the pre-compression transcript and re-loops. Empirically
verified the test catches the bug (drops the new _save() line → red).
AUTHOR_MAP:
- Map ed@bebop.crew -> someaka so the salvaged commit resolves to
@someaka in release notes.
Follow-up on top of @jacevys' PR #21437 cherry-pick:
- _provider_model_ids() now also matches normalized == 'openai-api' for
the live /v1/models fetch path, so users see the full catalog instead
of just the curated list.
- Add gpt-5.5-pro and gpt-5.3-codex to the curated list for parity with
the existing 'openai' table (used as fallback when /v1/models fails).
- Add scripts/release.py AUTHOR_MAP entry for jacevys so CI doesn't
block the salvage PR.
Follow-up to @Strontvod's fix.
Tests:
- Five new tests in test_update_concurrent_quarantine.py cover the parent-
chain exclusion: the .exe launcher is excluded, an unrelated sibling
hermes.exe is still reported, multi-level ancestry is fully excluded,
PID cycles in the parent chain don't hang, and a partially-stubbed
psutil (no Process attribute) degrades gracefully instead of crashing.
- New _fake_psutil_with_parent_chain helper builds a fuller stand-in
(Process / NoSuchProcess / AccessDenied + process_iter) than the
process_iter-only SimpleNamespace the older tests use.
Hardening:
- Broaden the except in the parent-walk to bare Exception. The original
fix listed (NoSuchProcess, AccessDenied, ValueError), but those names
are evaluated lazily during exception matching — if psutil is a partial
stub without the attribute, the exception handler itself raises
AttributeError that escapes. The function is documented as 'never raises'
(the surrounding update flow depends on it), so the broader catch keeps
the contract regardless of how the dependency is shaped.
AUTHOR_MAP:
- Map schepers.zander1@gmail.com -> Strontvod so the salvaged commit
resolves to @Strontvod in the release notes.
All 18 detect_concurrent + quarantine tests pass.
Companion to the GH-25255 incoming-strip fix from @hayka-pacha. Without
this, build_anthropic_kwargs unconditionally added 'mcp_' to every tool
name in step 3, so a native MCP server tool registered as
'mcp_composio_X' was sent as 'mcp_mcp_composio_X' on the wire. The
incoming strip only removes ONE prefix, which still worked on first
call, but on subsequent calls the model pattern-matched the
single-prefixed form from message history and produced names that
stripped to 'composio_X' — registry miss, dispatch fail.
The history-rewrite block (#4) already has this guard. Apply the same
guard to the schema-rewrite block (#3) so round-trip is symmetric.
Added 4 outgoing-side tests. Existing 7 incoming-side tests still pass.
Author map: hayka-pacha added for PR #25270 salvage attribution.
Refs GH-25255.
Adds an --ids flag to 'hermes kanban promote' mirroring the existing
block/schedule convention, so the marquee use case from issue #28822
(promote all children of a closed organizational parent in one shot)
doesn't require a shell loop. Single-id JSON output stays a flat
object for back-compat; bulk emits a list. Dedupes positional + --ids
so the same id can't be promoted twice in one call. 5 new CLI-level
tests cover bulk happy path, partial-failure exit code, JSON shapes,
and dedup.
Also adds the thedavidmurray noreply-email -> github-login mapping in
scripts/release.py so the salvage cherry-pick passes the AUTHOR_MAP
contributor-credit check.
PR #6656 added rel_path + \x00 prefixing to ``bundle_content_hash`` so a
filename swap between two files in a bundle changes the digest. But it
only patched the in-memory side — ``content_hash`` in ``tools/skills_guard.py``
(the on-disk equivalent) still hashed file contents only.
These two functions need to stay symmetric: ``check_for_skill_updates``
compares the disk hash of an installed skill against the bundle hash
of the upstream copy. With the asymmetric fix, every clean install
showed as drifted because the digests no longer matched
(2 existing tests in ``test_skills_hub.py`` started failing as soon as
the contributor's change landed).
Apply the same ``rel_path + \x00 + content`` shape to the disk-side
function. Both functions now produce the same digest for the same skill
content laid out two ways. Documented the symmetry invariant in the
docstring so a future change to either function knows to touch both.
Also adds tests/tools/test_pr_6656_regressions.py with 10 regression
tests covering all three fixes salvaged in PR #6656:
- uninstall_skill path traversal (4 cases: parent segments, absolute
paths, symlink escape, legitimate skill)
- bundle_content_hash filename swap detection (4 cases: in-memory
swap, identity, disk-side swap, bundle↔disk symmetry)
- list_pending lock contract (2 cases: source-grep contract, smoke)
Also fixes AUTHOR_MAP entry for @aaronlab — their commit email
(1115117931@qq.com) maps to "aaronagent" which isn't a real GitHub
login, so changelog @mentions would 404.
The memory-provider gate added in the prior commit closes one of two
blind-injection sites in agent_init.py. The context engine block (lines
~1445) follows the identical pattern: agent.context_compressor.get_tool_schemas()
(lcm_grep, lcm_describe, lcm_expand) was appended to agent.tools unconditionally,
ignoring enabled_toolsets.
Same bug class, same local-model latency penalty, same one-line gate — using
'context_engine' as the toolset name (matches the existing plugin-system
convention in plugins.py, plugins_cmd.py, etc.).
Also adds Lempkey to scripts/release.py AUTHOR_MAP for the prior commit's
authorship.
* feat(tui): make display.mouse_tracking pick which DEC modes to enable
Previously the boolean flag was all-or-nothing across modes 1000+1002+1003+1006.
Inside tmux, mode 1003 (any-motion) makes every mouse cross of the prompt row
fire a clipboard probe that surfaces as "No image in clipboard" — sometimes
dozens in a row. Disabling tracking entirely killed scroll-wheel scrolling too,
since tmux's own scrollback is preempted by the alt-screen TUI.
`display.mouse_tracking` (and `/mouse <preset>`) now accepts `off | wheel |
buttons | all` in addition to the legacy booleans. `wheel` is 1000+1006:
scroll wheel + click only, no drag, no hover — the tmux-friendly subset.
`buttons` adds 1002 for drag-to-select. `all` (= legacy `true`) keeps the
hover-driven UI (scrollbar paginate-on-hover, link mouseenter, etc.).
* fix(tui): repaint + sync mouse mode when display.mouse_tracking changes
Two interacting bugs left the TUI blank when `display.mouse_tracking`
switched at runtime (config edit, /mouse <preset>):
1. AlternateScreen's effect re-runs on every `mouseTracking` change,
tearing down and re-entering the alt screen. After re-entry, ink's
frame buffers are reset by `resetFramesForAltScreen()` but nothing
schedules the follow-up render — the alt screen sits blank until
some other state change happens to trigger one. Add a
`scheduleRender()` in `setAltScreenActive`'s active=true branch so
the freshly-entered alt screen gets a full repaint immediately.
2. `setAltScreenActive` early-returns when `active` hasn't changed,
which silently drops a `mouseTracking` change if the cleanup→setup
pair somehow leaves `altScreenActive` already true. Call
`setAltScreenMouseTracking` explicitly from the AlternateScreen
effect so the in-memory mode and terminal DECSET sequence stay in
sync regardless of how `setAltScreenActive` resolved (the call is a
no-op when the mode is unchanged).
* fix(tui): address copilot review #4341269705
- tui_gateway/server.py: drop the never-referenced _MOUSE_TRACKING_MODES
frozenset (comment #3284802434). _MOUSE_TRACKING_ALIASES already
centralizes the canonical preset set via its values; the separate
constant added no behavior.
- tests/test_tui_gateway_server.py: update the existing
test_config_mouse_uses_documented_key_with_legacy_fallback to assert
the new preset strings ('all'/'off' instead of 'on'/'off',
display.mouse_tracking persisted as 'all' instead of True) and add
test_config_mouse_accepts_preset_strings_and_aliases covering /mouse
set with wheel/click/unknown (comment #3284802453). The on/off legacy
config.set return shape was an implementation detail of the boolean
flag, not a stable API — the slash command, gateway help text, and
docs all advertise the preset values now.
- ui-tui/packages/hermes-ink/src/ink/ink.tsx: schedule a render at the
end of reenterAltScreen() (comment #3284802461). Mirrors the same fix
in setAltScreenActive() from ece0a2f4c — without it, SIGCONT/resize
self-heal/stdin-gap re-entry leaves the alt screen blank because
every caller returns early after invoking us.
* fix(tui): address copilot review #4341308478 round 2
- ui-tui/src/config/env.ts (comment #3284837577): the precedence
comment was misleading. Actual behavior on origin/main is
HERMES_TUI_MOUSE_TRACKING (explicit override) > Termux default >
HERMES_TUI_DISABLE_MOUSE legacy kill-switch. This is preserved from
main; the only change here was the wrong comment that claimed
DISABLE_MOUSE kept kill-switch semantics. Rewrote the comment block
to document the actual precedence ladder.
- tui_gateway/server.py /mouse set (comment #3284837607): replaced
'str(value or "").strip().lower()' with the explicit None idiom
already used for /indicator, so programmatic callers can pass 0 /
False and have them route through _MOUSE_TRACKING_ALIASES → 'off'
instead of collapsing to '' and triggering the toggle path.
- ui-tui/packages/hermes-ink/src/ink/components/AlternateScreen.tsx
(comment #3284837620): always prepend DISABLE_MOUSE_TRACKING before
enableMouseTrackingFor(...) on mount. Otherwise selecting
'wheel'/'buttons' from a state where DEC 1003 was already asserted
(crash, another app, debugger) would silently leave hover on. Also
unconditionally DISABLE on unmount so a crash mid-mount can't leak
DEC modes back to the host shell.
* chore(release): map nat@nthrow.io to @nthrow for #26681 salvage
* fix(tui): drop redundant setAltScreenMouseTracking in AlternateScreen
Copilot review #4341356637 (comment #3284880417). The explicit
setAltScreenMouseTracking(mouseTracking) after setAltScreenActive(true,
mouseTracking) was defensive paranoia added in the previous fix commit
that's not actually reachable in practice:
- React's cleanup always runs before the next setup, so on any prop
change (mouseTracking or writeRaw) the cleanup sets active=false
first. Setup then sees active was false and applies the new mode
via setAltScreenActive without early-returning.
- On the impossible 'active stayed true' path, the writeRaw above has
already sent DISABLE_MOUSE_TRACKING + enableMouseTrackingFor(newMode)
to the terminal, so the in-memory mode would lag but the visible
state is already correct.
Removing the redundant call means a single DEC sequence per mount.
If the 'active stayed true' path ever manifests in practice, the
right fix is in setAltScreenActive (track mode regardless of the
active early-return), not here.
* fix(tui): always DISABLE before enableMouseTrackingFor in ink.tsx
Copilot review #4341379994 (comments #3284900825, #3284900840,
#3284900852). Three remaining call sites in ink.tsx still re-enabled
mouse tracking without first sending DISABLE_MOUSE_TRACKING:
- handleResize alt-screen recovery (line ~577)
- reassertTerminalModes stdin-gap re-assertion (line ~1351)
- reenterAltScreen SIGCONT/resize/stdin-gap self-heal (line ~1408)
For 'wheel'/'buttons' presets, omitting DISABLE leaves any externally-
asserted DEC 1003 (other apps, prior crash, tmux state) still active
and the hover-free preset silently has hover on. DISABLE_MOUSE_TRACKING
is idempotent and safe to send unconditionally — it resets all four
modes. Matches the pattern already in setAltScreenMouseTracking and
the AlternateScreen mount path.
* fix(tui): always DISABLE before enableMouseTrackingFor in exitAlternateScreen
Copilot review #4341452823 (comment #3284959762). exitAlternateScreen()
was the last call site in ink.tsx still re-enabling mouse tracking
without DISABLE first. Editors (vim/nvim/less) and tmux can leave
DEC 1003 hover asserted across the handoff back; without DISABLE,
'wheel'/'buttons' presets silently kept hover on after the editor
quit. Now all five enableMouseTrackingFor() call sites in ink.tsx
prepend DISABLE_MOUSE_TRACKING — handleResize, reassertTerminalModes,
reenterAltScreen, setAltScreenMouseTracking, exitAlternateScreen.
* fix(tui): add defensive default to enableMouseTrackingFor switch
Copilot review #4341485231 (comment #3284979323). TS exhaustive switch
returns string per the type system, but a JS caller / corrupted config
/ hot-reload-in-dev could reach the function with an unknown value at
runtime. Without a default, that path returns undefined which then
concatenates as the literal string 'undefined' into the terminal byte
stream — visibly garbling output. Treat unknown as 'off' (no DEC
sequences) so the worst case is silent input loss rather than a
wrecked screen.

The contributor PR (#17936) only patched the strip path in
`_model_supports_vision()`. The auto-mode router in
`agent/image_routing._lookup_supports_vision` still only read models.dev,
so a custom-provider model declared as vision-capable would still get its
images routed through vision_analyze in the default `agent.image_input_mode:
auto` setting. Users had to set both `supports_vision: true` AND
`image_input_mode: native` to bypass the text pipeline.
Single-knob behavior now: `supports_vision: true` alone is enough in auto
mode. The strip path and the routing path consult the same resolver.
- Extract override resolution into `_supports_vision_override()` in
agent/image_routing.py and wire it into `_lookup_supports_vision()`.
- Refactor `run_agent._model_supports_vision` to call the same helper
(DRY, single source of truth for the resolution order).
- Strict YAML boolean coercion: `supports_vision: "false"` (quoted —
a common YAML mistake) no longer coerces to True via bool() truthiness.
Recognised tokens: true/false/yes/no/on/off/1/0 plus real bools and 0/1.
Unrecognised values return None and fall through to models.dev.
- Add @CNSeniorious000 to AUTHOR_MAP for release attribution.
Tests: 26 new (TestCoerceCapabilityBool, TestSupportsVisionOverride,
TestLookupSupportsVisionOverride, TestAutoModeRespectsOverride). Existing
contributor tests + image_routing + vision_native_fast_path +
native_image_buffer_isolation all green (92/92).
After #28660's host-gating fix, users with provider=custom and base_url
pointed at a commercial endpoint (DeepSeek, Groq, Mistral, …) hit
no-key-required even when they had the vendor-named env var set
(DEEPSEEK_API_KEY, GROQ_API_KEY, …). The issue author flagged this as
'what users intuitively expect'.
Adds _host_derived_api_key() to derive an env var name from the base URL
host using the *registrable* label (second-to-last). Appended to all three
api_key_candidates chains (_resolve_named_custom_runtime direct-alias path,
named-custom path, _resolve_openrouter_runtime non-openrouter branch).
Lookalike resistance: api.deepseek.com.attacker.test resolves to vendor
label 'attacker', NOT 'deepseek' — DEEPSEEK_API_KEY stays put. IPs and
loopback yield no vendor label. Already-handled vendors (OPENAI/OPENROUTER/
OLLAMA) are filtered to prevent bypass of the explicit host-gated paths.
Adds 6 tests covering positive paths (DeepSeek, Groq), the lookalike attack,
loopback rejection, the already-handled-vendor filter, and direct helper
unit tests.
Also adds erhnysr to AUTHOR_MAP.

Surfaced while salvaging PR #29182 (yoniebans's session-log refactor).
When config.yaml has provider: ollama (or vllm/llamacpp/llama-cpp) with a
non-loopback base_url, auth.py's resolve_provider() correctly normalises
the alias to 'custom' at the top level, but two sites in runtime_provider.py
were still comparing the *original* string against the literal 'custom':
- _config_base_url_trustworthy_for_bare_custom() rejected non-loopback
URLs because cfg_provider_norm was 'ollama', not 'custom'.
- _resolve_openrouter_runtime() only entered the trust branch when
requested_norm == 'custom'.
Both sites now consult resolve_provider() and treat any alias that
resolves to 'custom' identically. Result: provider: ollama + LAN IP no
longer silently falls through to OpenRouter (HTTP 401), matching the
behaviour of provider: custom with the same base_url.
E2E verified across 6 cases (ollama/vllm/llamacpp/custom + LAN; ollama +
loopback; openrouter + cloud) — all route to the configured endpoint;
'frobnicate' + LAN still rejects with AuthError as before.

back to a raw.githubusercontent.com sourceUrl if the detail call fails.
- tools/skills_hub.py: rewrite BrowseShSource.fetch() to resolve via

* fix(process-registry): detach stdin from background subprocesses to prevent keyboard freeze
Background process non-PTY path used stdin=subprocess.PIPE unconditionally,
creating an orphan pipe that was never written to and never closed. Child
processes that read stdin would block indefinitely, competing with the
parent's prompt_toolkit event loop for terminal ownership and causing
complete keyboard lockout.
Change to stdin=subprocess.DEVNULL so children get immediate EOF on stdin
reads instead of blocking forever. For interactive stdin, the PTY path
(which has its own independent PTY via ptyprocess.PtyProcess.spawn) should
be used instead.

* feat(session_search): single-shape tool with discovery, scroll, browse — no LLM
Replaces the LLM-summarized session_search with a single-shape tool that
returns actual messages from the DB. Three calling shapes inferred from
args (no mode parameter):
1. Discovery — pass query. FTS5 + anchored ±5 window + bookends per hit,
all in one call. ~20ms on a real DB instead of ~90s for the previous
three aux-LLM calls.
2. Scroll — pass session_id + around_message_id. Returns a window
centered on the anchor. To paginate, re-anchor on the first/last id
of the returned window. Boundary message appears in both windows
as the orientation marker. ~1ms per scroll call.
3. Browse — no args. Recent sessions chronologically.
Bookend_start (first 3 user+assistant msgs) and bookend_end (last 3) give
the agent goal + resolution on every discovery hit, so a single tool call
reconstructs a long session's arc without loading the whole transcript.
The aux-LLM summary path is gone: it cost ~$0.30/call, took ~30s, and
laundered FTS5 hits through a model that could confabulate when the right
session wasn't in the hit list. The merged shape returns byte-for-byte
content from SQLite.
History:
- PR #20238 (JabberELF) seeded the fast/summary dual-mode split.
- PR #26419 (yoniebans) expanded to fast/guided/summary with bookends,
multi-anchor drill-down, default-mode config, and a teaching skill.
This PR collapses that toolkit into one shape with explicit scroll
support, drops the summary path, drops the mode parameter, drops the
config knob, drops the skill. JabberELF's seed work is acknowledged via
the AUTHOR_MAP entry.

* chore(session_search): prune dead LLM-summary config and docs
Companion to the single-shape rewrite. The auxiliary.session_search config
block, max_concurrency / extra_body tunables, and matching docs sections
all referenced the removed LLM summarization path. Removing them so users
don't try to tune knobs that nothing reads.
- hermes_cli/config.py: drop dead auxiliary.session_search block from
DEFAULT_CONFIG. Leftover keys in user config.yaml are harmless and
ignored.
- hermes_cli/tips.py: drop two tips referencing the removed
max_concurrency / extra_body knobs.
- website/docs/user-guide/configuration.md: drop 'Session Search Tuning'
section and the auxiliary.session_search block from the example.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/fallback-providers.md: drop session_search
rows from the auxiliary-tasks tables and the dedicated tuning subsection.
- website/docs/reference/tools-reference.md: rewrite the session_search
entry to describe the new three-shape behaviour.
- CONTRIBUTING.md: update the file-tree description.
- tests/tools/test_llm_content_none_guard.py: remove TestSessionSearchContentNone
class and test_session_search_tool_guarded — both guard against an
unguarded .content.strip() call site in _summarize_session() that no
longer exists.
Validation: 97/97 targeted tests still pass (hermes_state + session_search +
llm_content_none_guard). Config tests 55/55.

Two unit tests for run_hermes_oauth_login_pure():
1. test_authorization_url_state_is_not_pkce_verifier — asserts state in the
auth URL is independent from the PKCE code_verifier sent in the token
exchange, and that the verifier never appears in the URL.
2. test_callback_state_mismatch_aborts — asserts the flow returns None
(no token exchange) when the callback state does not match the value
we generated.
Negative control verified: reintroducing the b17e5c10 vulnerable pattern
(state = verifier, no callback validation) makes both tests fail.
Also adds AUTHOR_MAP entry for shaun0927 (contributor of the fix).
The cherry-picked PR #15251 from @tw2818 correctly identified the
DeepSeek 400 root cause but placed the fix in the legacy fallback path
of `build_kwargs`, which DeepSeek never reaches — DeepSeek has a
registered ProviderProfile and goes through `_build_kwargs_from_profile`
instead. The legacy-path block was therefore dead code.
This commit pivots the fix to where it actually fires:
- New `DeepSeekProfile` in `plugins/model-providers/deepseek/__init__.py`
overrides `build_api_kwargs_extras` to emit DeepSeek's expected wire
format (mirrors `KimiProfile`):
{"reasoning_effort": "<low|medium|high|max>",
"extra_body": {"thinking": {"type": "enabled" | "disabled"}}}
- Model gating: only `deepseek-v4-*` and `deepseek-reasoner` emit
thinking control. `deepseek-chat` (V3) is untouched — current behavior.
- Effort mapping: low/medium/high passthrough, xhigh/max → max, unset →
omitted (DeepSeek server applies its own default).
- Revert the legacy-path additions from PR #15251 — they were dead code,
and the `_copy_reasoning_content_for_api` strip block specifically
would have nullified the existing reasoning_content padding machinery
(`_needs_deepseek_tool_reasoning` → space-pad on replay) that the
active provider already relies on for replay correctness.
- Unit tests pin the wire-shape contract and the model gating rules
(26 tests, all passing). Existing transport + provider profile suites
(321 tests) continue to pass.
- AUTHOR_MAP: map twebefy@gmail.com → tw2818 for release notes credit.

Wraps every sync->async coroutine-scheduling site in the codebase with a
new agent.async_utils.safe_schedule_threadsafe() helper that closes the
coroutine on scheduling failure (closed loop, shutdown race, etc.)
instead of leaking it as 'coroutine was never awaited' RuntimeWarnings
plus reference leaks.
22 production call sites migrated across the codebase:
- acp_adapter/events.py, acp_adapter/permissions.py
- agent/lsp/manager.py
- cron/scheduler.py (media + text delivery paths)
- gateway/platforms/feishu.py (5 sites, via existing _submit_on_loop helper
which now delegates to safe_schedule_threadsafe)
- gateway/run.py (10 sites: telegram rename, agent:step hook, status
callback, interim+bg-review, clarify send, exec-approval button+text,
temp-bubble cleanup, channel-directory refresh)
- plugins/memory/hindsight, plugins/platforms/google_chat
- tools/browser_supervisor.py (3), browser_cdp_tool.py,
computer_use/cua_backend.py, slash_confirm.py
- tools/environments/modal.py (_AsyncWorker)
- tools/mcp_tool.py (2 + 8 _run_on_mcp_loop callers converted to
factory-style so the coroutine is never constructed on a dead loop)
- tui_gateway/ws.py
Tests: new tests/agent/test_async_utils.py covers helper behavior under
live loop, dead loop, None loop, and scheduling exceptions. Regression
tests added at three PR-original sites (acp events, acp permissions,
mcp loop runner) mirroring contributor's intent.
Live-tested end-to-end:
- Helper stress test: 1500 schedules across live/dead/race scenarios,
zero leaked coroutines
- Race exercised: 5000 schedules with loop killed mid-flight, 100 ok /
4900 None returns, zero leaks
- hermes chat -q with terminal tool call (exercises step_callback bridge)
- MCP probe against failing subprocess servers + factory path
- Real gateway daemon boot + SIGINT shutdown across multiple platform
adapter inits
- WSTransport 100 live + 50 dead-loop writes
- Cron delivery path live + dead loop
Salvages PR #2657 — adopts contributor's intent over a much wider site
list and a single centralized helper instead of inline try/except at
each site. 3 of the original PR's 6 sites no longer exist on main
(environments/patches.py deleted, DingTalk refactored to native async);
the equivalent fix lives in tools/environments/modal.py instead.

The contributor's commit author email is the legacy GitHub noreply
form (no leading numeric "id+"), so it doesn't match the
check-attribution workflow's auto-resolve regex
(\+.*@users\.noreply\.github\.com). Register it explicitly in
AUTHOR_MAP so the PR #26457 attribution check passes.
PR #22345 by @btorresgil authors commits as 'Brian Conklin
<brian@dralth.com>' (git config carries a different name/email than the
GitHub account). GitHub's commit-author mapping correctly attributes these
commits to @btorresgil based on the public-key registration, but Hermes'
release attribution audit reads the raw commit email, not the GitHub
mapping. Without this AUTHOR_MAP entry, salvaging #22345 would fail
`scripts/contributor_audit.py` strict mode at release time.
Prerequisite for the langfuse trace fix salvage that cherry-picks
@btorresgil's commits onto current main.
When a user sends a Slack message like '/hermes ' (trailing whitespace
after the slash) the legacy subcommand router hit `text.split()[0]` with
a truthy-but-whitespace-only `text`. `' '.split()` returns `[]` →
IndexError, blowing up the slash handler before fallthrough to `/help`.
Switch to a two-step guard that materializes the parts list first and
indexes only if non-empty.
Salvaged from PR #2752 by @nidhi-singh02. The PR's other two hunks
(`tools/file_operations.py`, `agent/anthropic_adapter.py`) are
unreachable in current code — `LINTERS` is a hardcoded constant dict
with no empty values, and the anthropic version-detection site is
already guarded by a `result.stdout.strip()` truthy check — so only the
slack hunk is taken.

Some catalog endpoints (OpenCode Zen, etc.) sit behind a WAF that
returns 403 for the default Python-urllib/<ver> User-Agent. The
generic profile-based live fetch in providers/base.py was silently
failing for any such provider — falling through to the static catalog
and missing newly-launched models.
Set a generic 'hermes-cli/<version>' UA on the catalog probe so every
api_key provider profile benefits. Verified live against opencode-zen:
before this change, profile.fetch_models() raised HTTP 403; after, it
returns 42 models including gpt-5.5, gpt-5.5-pro, kimi-k2.6, glm-5.1
and the *-free variants the static catalog doesn't list.
Also strip the now-stale comment in validate_requested_model() claiming
opencode-zen's /models returns 404 against the HTML marketing site —
the API endpoint at /zen/v1/models returns 200 with valid JSON.
Surfaced by #2651 (@aashizpoudel) — fixes the same user-facing gap
their PR targeted, applied at the right layer so all api_key provider
profiles get live catalogs through the same code path.

- Adds plugins/platforms/simplex docs page to the messaging sidebar
between LINE and Open WebUI.
- Maps louismichalot@hotmail.com -> Mibayy in scripts/release.py so the
attribution check on the salvage PR passes.
When a non-Anthropic provider (e.g. Morpheus proxy) returns a 429 with
`{"error": "Too Many Requests"}` instead of the expected
`{"error": {"type": ...}}` dict, _err_body.json().get("error", {})
returns the raw string and the next .get("type") line crashes with
AttributeError, taking down the message handler.
Guard with isinstance(_err_json, dict) so non-dict error bodies fall
through to the generic rate-limit hint.
Salvaged from PR #2587 by @KiraKatana. The PR's fallback-config
`base_url`/`api_key_env` fix was already implemented independently
on main (run_agent.py:8759-8780) with additional aliases and Ollama
Cloud host handling, so only the gateway guard is cherry-picked.

Discord's CDN serves attachments with Content-Encoding: br. aiohttp's
compression_utils tries 'import brotlicffi as brotli' first and falls back
to google's Brotli, but Brotli<1.2.0's Decompressor.process() is 1-arg
while aiohttp calls it with 2 args (data, max_length). Result: every
.txt/.md/.doc uploaded to a Discord-gateway session fails to decode at
att.read() with 'Can not decode content-encoding: br' / 'TypeError:
process() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)', the agent never sees the
bytes, and falls back to filesystem guessing.
Pin brotlicffi==1.2.0.1 in both surfaces:
- tools/lazy_deps.py 'platform.discord' tuple: Discord users on the
lazy-install path get it on first discord.py import.
- pyproject.toml [messaging] extra: users who explicitly install
hermes-agent[messaging] (skipping the lazy path) get it eagerly.
brotlicffi wins aiohttp's import race regardless of what else is
installed (try brotlicffi / except: import brotli), so existing setups
that already pulled google's Brotli transitively don't change behavior
beyond the bug fix. ~1.5 MB wheel, manylinux/macOS/Windows coverage.
E2E verified: round-trip decode of Brotli-compressed payload via
aiohttp.compression_utils.brotli succeeds with brotlicffi pinned; same
test against Brotli==1.1.0 alone reproduces the reported TypeError.
Credit to @Korkyzer for the original diagnosis and fix shape in #15744;
the lazy-deps gating layer was added on top to keep brotlicffi out of
the install path for users who don't run a Discord gateway.
Fixes#12511.
Closes#15744.

The ACP Registry schema supports uvx as a first-class distribution method
alongside npx and binary. Pointing the registry directly at the existing
hermes-agent PyPI release removes:
- the @nousresearch npm scope (we don't own it)
- a separate npm publish step on every weekly release
- 90 lines of Node launcher + tests in packages/hermes-agent-acp/
The Zed registry now installs Hermes via:
uvx --from 'hermes-agent[acp]==<version>' hermes-acp
This is the same command the npm launcher was shelling out to anyway, so
end-user behavior is unchanged. Registry CI validates the PyPI URL +
version-pin exact match automatically.
Changes:
- acp_registry/agent.json: distribution.npx -> distribution.uvx
- delete packages/hermes-agent-acp/ entirely
- scripts/release.py: drop npm-launcher bump paths, keep manifest lockstep
- tests/acp/test_registry_manifest.py: assert uvx shape + version pin
- tests/scripts/test_release_acp_registry.py: rewrite for uvx-only shape
- docs (user-guide + dev-guide): drop all npm-launcher references
- delete docs/plans/acp-registry-zed-integration.md (stale, npm-shaped)
Validated against agentclientprotocol/registry agent.schema.json via
jsonschema. hermes-agent==0.13.0 is already live on PyPI.
The ACP Registry manifest (acp_registry/agent.json), the npm launcher
package.json, and the launcher's HERMES_AGENT_VERSION constant must all
match pyproject.toml exactly — tests/acp/test_registry_manifest.py
enforces this lockstep.
Without a release-script hook, the next weekly version bump fails that
test until someone hand-edits four files. Extend update_version_files()
to drive the ACP bump alongside __init__.py and pyproject.toml, and
add tests covering the lockstep and the missing-files no-op path.
Also map adam.manning@gmail.com -> am423 for the salvage commit.
Follow-up to the sandbox-bypass env-var fix:
- Update the opt-out gate so a user-provided AGENT_BROWSER_ARGS is also
respected, not just the legacy AGENT_BROWSER_CHROME_FLAGS. Previously
the gate only checked the broken legacy var, so a user who pre-set
AGENT_BROWSER_ARGS would still get clobbered by Hermes's auto-injection.
- Document AGENT_BROWSER_ARGS in .env.example, the browser feature page,
and the env var reference, with notes about the auto-injection on
AppArmor-restricted systems (Ubuntu 23.10+, DGX Spark, containers).
- Add Anadi Jaggia to AUTHOR_MAP.
When the terminal shrinks, already-printed box-drawing rules (response,
reasoning, streaming TTS, background-task Panels) reflow into multiple
narrower rows — visible as duplicated horizontal separators / ghost
lines in scrollback. Similarly, prompt_toolkit redraws a fresh status
bar on SIGWINCH on top of one the terminal just reflowed, producing
double-bar artifacts on column shrink.
Two surgical changes:
1. Decorative scrollback boxes now use a new
`HermesCLI._scrollback_box_width()` helper that clamps to
`max(32, min(width, 56))`. The live TUI footer is unaffected and still
uses the full width. Covers: streaming response box (open + close),
reasoning box (open + close, both streaming and post-stream paths),
streaming-TTS box close, final-response Rich Panel, and the
background-task Rich Panel.
2. `_recover_after_resize()` now also sets a new
`_status_bar_suppressed_after_resize` flag so the dynamic status bar
and both input separator rules stay hidden until the next user input.
The flag is cleared in the process loop the moment the user submits
their next prompt, restoring chrome cleanly.
Tests:
- New `test_input_rules_hide_after_resize_until_next_input` covers the
flag's effect on rule heights.
- New `test_scrollback_box_width_caps_to_resize_safe_value` covers the
helper at floor / cap / mid-range / overflow.
- Existing resize-recovery test extended to assert the flag flips.

EthanGuo-coder, wesleysimplicio, and zccyman are already in the map.
The cherry-picked PR over-indented the edit_message_text block for
the mm: (model selected → switch) success path so the confirmation
edit lived inside the preceding 'except Exception as exc' branch and
only fired when the callback raised. Dedent the try/except back to
12-space indent so it runs after the callback succeeds, restoring
the original flow that removes the inline buttons and shows the
'Switched to ...' confirmation.
Add a regression test (test_model_selected_edits_message_on_success)
that asserts edit_message_text is awaited and the result text is
routed through format_message (MARKDOWN_V2 + backtick survival).
Add phuongvm to scripts/release.py AUTHOR_MAP.
Follow-up to Alex-wuhu's NovitaAI provider commit. Adds:
- _pricing_cache hit/write in _fetch_novita_pricing (was missing — every
pricing fetch was re-hitting the network), mirroring the
fetch_ai_gateway_pricing pattern. force_refresh now also propagates
from get_pricing_for_provider.
- TestNovitaProvider in tests/hermes_cli/test_api_key_providers.py
covering profile load, alias resolution, registry auto-registration,
model list parity between main.py and models.py, _URL_TO_PROVIDER,
_PROVIDER_PREFIXES, context_size in _CONTEXT_LENGTH_KEYS, pricing
unit conversion, and pricing cache behavior.
- AUTHOR_MAP entry for yanglongwei06@gmail.com → @Alex-yang00.
Both addresses route to the same GitHub account (@simpolism / snav). Adding
the mappings here keeps release notes from showing two separate contributors
for what is one person's work, and unblocks subsequent PRs from this account
that would otherwise each need their own scripts/release.py noise.
Belt-and-suspenders complement to the cached-system-prompt inheritance:
pin session_start and session_id to the parent's so any code path that
re-renders parts of the system prompt (compression, plugin hooks)
still produces byte-identical output. The cached-prompt assignment
already short-circuits the normal rebuild path, but these pins
guarantee parity even if a future code path bypasses the cache.

Follow-up on @pty819's t2a_v2 endpoint fix:
- Default model: speech-02 -> speech-02-hd (bare 'speech-02' is not in the
supported enum; t2a_v2 rejects it with 400). Official enum: speech-01-hd,
speech-01-turbo, speech-02-hd, speech-02-turbo, speech-2.6-hd/turbo,
speech-2.8-hd/turbo.
- Default voice: female-shaonv -> English_expressive_narrator. The
legacy speech-01-series short ID doesn't resolve cleanly on the
speech-02+ models that are now the default.
- Default base URL: api.minimaxi.com -> api.minimax.io (matches the
canonical host in the published docs; api-uw.minimax.io is the
reduced-latency alt).
- Add GroupId support via tts.minimax.group_id config or MINIMAX_GROUP_ID
env var. Some MiniMax accounts scope TTS requests by group; without it,
requests 401. Only appended when not already in the user's base_url.
Tests rewritten to cover both the default t2a_v2 path (hex-encoded audio
in JSON, nested voice_setting/audio_setting) and the legacy
text_to_speech path (raw audio bytes, flat payload). Adds coverage for
GroupId config/env wiring and error surfacing.
Also adds AUTHOR_MAP entry for pty819's GitHub-noreply email.
Adds an explicit API compatibility mode prompt to the `hermes model -> custom`
flow so Codex-compatible third-party endpoints (and any other non-default
backend whose URL doesn't match the existing heuristics in
`_detect_api_mode_for_url`) can be selected explicitly instead of silently
falling back to chat_completions.
Choices: Auto-detect / chat_completions / codex_responses / anthropic_messages.
Persists `api_mode` to:
- `model.api_mode` (active session config)
- the matching `custom_providers[*]` entry (so re-activating the named
provider next time replays the same transport)
Salvaged from PR #6125 onto current main: kept the new prompt and the
`_save_custom_provider(api_mode=...)` plumbing; the named-custom flow
already extracts and applies `api_mode` from the saved entry on current
main so those changes are preserved as-is. Test fixtures updated for the
new prompt and the existing display-name prompt.

Follow-up to TreyDong's fix: switch the auth header to
`X-Hermes-Session-Token` (the canonical pattern used by the rest of
the dashboard SPA — see `web/src/lib/api.ts` `fetchJSON()`). The

Bearer` form would also work; we standardize on X-header to match
every other dashboard fetch and only set the header when a token is
actually present.

The skill enumerated 8 specialist profile names (researcher, analyst,
writer, reviewer, backend-eng, frontend-eng, ops, pm) as "the standard
roster" and told orchestrators to "assume these exist." Almost no real
Hermes setup matches that fleet — single-profile setups, Docker-worker
setups, and curated-team setups all violate it — so following the skill
literally produced cards assigned to non-existent profiles, which the
dispatcher silently failed to spawn (no autocorrect, no fallback, just
sits in `ready` forever).
Changes:
- Drop the standard-specialist-roster table.
- Add a "Profiles are user-configured — not a fixed roster" section at
the top with a Step 0 that prescribes `hermes profile list` (or asking
the user) before fanning out. Cache the result in working memory.
- Rewrite the worked task-graph example with placeholder names
(<profile-A>, <profile-B>, <profile-C>) so the structure is still
teachable but doesn't invite copy-paste of role names that may not
exist.
- Reframe the "If no specialist fits" anti-temptation rule: don't
invent profile names; ask the user.
- Add a "Inventing profile names that doesn't exist" entry to Pitfalls.
- Bump skill version 2.0.0 → 3.0.0 (semantic break: previous behavior
promised a roster the skill no longer enumerates).
- Update website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban.md to drop the
matching "(researcher, writer, analyst, backend-eng, reviewer, ops)"
line and explain the discovery prompt instead.
- Re-run website/scripts/generate-skill-docs.py to refresh the
auto-generated skill page + catalog.
Closes#21131 in spirit — addresses the same hardcoded-names footgun
@yehuosi flagged, with a different shape than their PR (delete the
roster rather than replace each name with placeholder, since the
roster table was the load-bearing footgun and the worked example is
salvageable with placeholder profile names).

* feat(gateway): per-platform admin/user split for slash commands
Adds an opt-in two-list access control on top of the existing per-platform
`allow_from` allowlists, scoped to slash commands only:
- allow_admin_from — full slash command access
- user_allowed_commands — what non-admins may run
- group_allow_admin_from — same, group/channel scope
- group_user_allowed_commands
When `allow_admin_from` is unset for a scope, gating is disabled and every
allowed user keeps full access (backward compat). Plain chat is unaffected.
`/help` and `/whoami` are always reachable so users can see what they
can run.
Gate runs at the slash command dispatch site in gateway/run.py and uses
`is_gateway_known_command()`, so it covers built-in AND plugin-registered
commands through the live registry without per-feature wiring.
Adds `/whoami` showing platform, scope, tier, and runnable commands.
Salvage of PR #4443's permission tier work, scoped down. The full tier
system, tool filtering, audit log, usage tracking, rate limiting,
`/promote` flow, and persistent SQLite stores are not included here —
those can be re-expanded later if needed.

* fix(gateway): close running-agent fast-path bypass + add coverage and central docs
The slash command access gate was only applied at the cold dispatch site
(line ~5921). When an agent was already running, the running-agent
fast-path block (line ~5574) dispatched /restart, /stop, /new, /steer,
/model, /approve, /deny, /agents, /background, /kanban, /goal, /yolo,
/verbose, /footer, /help, /commands, /profile, /update directly
without going through the gate — letting non-admins bypass gating just
because an agent happens to be busy.
Refactored the gate into _check_slash_access() and called from BOTH
paths. /status remains intentionally pre-gate so users can always see
session state.
Also added 18 more dispatch tests covering:
- Running-agent fast-path: blocks non-admin, allows admin, /status
always works
- Alias canonicalization (gate uses canonical name, not user alias)
- Unknown / unregistered commands pass through (don't false-positive)
- DM admin scope-locked when group has its own admin list
- Multi-platform isolation (Discord gated, Telegram unrestricted)
Docs: added Slash Command Access Control section to the central
messaging index page + /whoami row in the chat commands table.

Follow-up to the previous commit's casing fix.
The original PR shipped the dist edits without test coverage. The
contributor's reasoning (UI-only attributes in a pre-built JS bundle,
nothing meaningful to unit-test) is fair, but a static-asset assertion
catches the most likely regression vector — a future rebuild of the
dist bundle that loses the attributes — at near-zero cost.
Adds two regression tests in tests/plugins/test_kanban_dashboard_plugin.py:
- test_dashboard_assignee_inputs_preserve_casing — reads dist/index.js
and asserts autoCapitalize="none", autoCorrect="off", spellCheck=false,
and textTransform="none" each appear at least twice (one per assignee
input — inline triage/lane create + task-edit panel).
- test_dashboard_lane_head_preserves_assignee_casing — reads dist/style.css
and asserts the .hermes-kanban-lane-head rule body does NOT contain
text-transform: uppercase. Locates the rule by marker so unrelated CSS
churn nearby doesn't flake the test.
Both follow the same shape as the existing test_dashboard_requests_default_board_explicitly
static-asset guard from PR #22940's salvage.
Also adds the AUTHOR_MAP entry for princepal9120's GitHub-noreply email
so release notes credit the right account.
Follow-up to the previous commit's safe-int task_age fix.
The original PR shipped without test coverage. This commit adds:
- test_safe_int_accepts_int_and_int_string — sanity for the well-typed
path so the helper itself can't quietly start swallowing valid values.
- test_safe_int_returns_none_on_corrupt_inputs — the failure modes
(None, '%s', 'abc', '', '1.5', random objects). Covers both the
ValueError and TypeError catch branches.
- test_task_age_handles_corrupt_created_at — the headline regression:
a task with created_at='%s' used to raise ValueError and turn
GET /api/plugins/kanban/board into a 500.
- test_task_age_handles_corrupt_started_and_completed — confirms the
safe-int treatment is consistent across all three timestamp fields.
- test_task_age_well_formed_task — regression that the safe path
doesn't change observable output for normal data.
- test_task_dict_survives_corrupt_created_at — defense in depth.
Writes a corrupt row directly via SQL, reads it back through the
ORM, and confirms task_age + the surrounding plugin_api guard
degrade gracefully instead of crashing.
Also adds the AUTHOR_MAP entry for the contributor's GitHub-noreply
email so release notes credit @baocin (the commit was authored locally
as `aoi <aoi@hino.local>` — re-attributed during salvage to the
github noreply form).
* feat(gateway): add LINE Messaging API platform plugin
Adds LINE as a bundled platform plugin under `plugins/platforms/line/`,
synthesized from the strongest pieces of seven open community PRs. The
adapter requires zero core edits — `Platform("line")` is auto-discovered
via the bundled-plugin scan in `gateway/config.py`, and all hooks
(setup, env-enablement, cron delivery, standalone send) are wired
through `register_platform()` kwargs the way IRC and Teams do it.
Highlights merged into one plugin:
- **Reply token preferred, Push fallback.** Try the free reply token
first (single-use, ~60s TTL); fall back to metered Push when the
token is absent, expired, or rejected. (PR #21023)
- **Slow-LLM Template Buttons postback.** When the LLM is still running
past `LINE_SLOW_RESPONSE_THRESHOLD` (default 45s), the adapter burns
the original reply token to send a "Get answer" button bubble. The
user taps it to fetch the cached answer via a fresh reply token —
also free. State machine: PENDING → READY → DELIVERED, ERROR for
cancelled runs (orphan resolves to `LINE_INTERRUPTED_TEXT` after
/stop). Set threshold to 0 to disable. (PR #18153)
- **Three-allowlist gating** — separate user / group / room allowlists
with `LINE_ALLOW_ALL_USERS=true` dev-only escape hatch. (PR #18153)
- **Markdown URL preservation.** Strip bold/italic/code-fence/heading
markers (LINE renders them literally) but keep `[label](url)` →
`label (url)` so URLs stay tappable. (PR #18153)
- **System-message bypass** for `⚡ Interrupting`, `⏳ Queued`, etc. —
busy-acks reach the user as visible bubbles instead of being
swallowed into the postback cache. (PR #18153)
- **Media via public HTTPS URLs.** LINE doesn't accept binary uploads;
images/audio/video must be HTTPS-reachable. The adapter serves
registered tempfiles under `/line/media/<token>/<filename>` from the
same aiohttp app. Allowed-roots traversal guard covers
`tempfile.gettempdir()`, `/tmp` (→ `/private/tmp` on macOS), and
`HERMES_HOME`. `LINE_PUBLIC_URL` overrides URL construction for
setups behind tunnels/proxies. (PR #8398)
- **5-message-per-call batching.** LINE rejects >5 messages per
Reply/Push; smart-chunker caps text at 4500 chars per bubble.
- **Inbound dedup** via `webhookEventId` LRU. (PR #21023)
- **Self-message filter** via `/v2/bot/info` userId lookup. (PR #21023)
- **Loading-animation indicator** wired to LINE's `chat/loading/start`
endpoint, DM-only (LINE rejects it for groups/rooms). (PR #21023)
- **Out-of-process cron delivery** via `_standalone_send`, so
`deliver: line` cron jobs work even when cron runs detached from
the gateway.
- **Webhook hardening** — 1 MiB body cap, constant-time HMAC-SHA256
signature verification, dedup, scoped lock so two profiles can't
bind the same channel.
Validation
----------
- `scripts/run_tests.sh tests/gateway/test_line_plugin.py` →
73 passed in 1.05s
- `scripts/run_tests.sh tests/gateway/test_line_plugin.py
tests/gateway/test_irc_adapter.py
tests/gateway/test_plugin_platform_interface.py
tests/gateway/test_platform_registry.py
tests/gateway/test_config.py` → 193 passed, 7 skipped
- E2E import + register + signature roundtrip + `Platform("line")`
bundled-plugin discovery verified against current `origin/main`.
Closes the seven open LINE PRs (#18153, #16832, #6676, #21023, #14942,
#14988, #8398) by superseding them with a single plugin-form
implementation that takes the best idea from each.

* docs(platforms): document platform-specific slow-LLM UX pattern
Add a 'Platform-Specific Slow-LLM UX' section to the platform-adapter
developer guide covering the _keep_typing override pattern that LINE
uses for its Template Buttons postback flow.
Three subsections:
- Pattern: subclass _keep_typing to layer mid-flight UX (with code)
- Pattern: subclass send to route through a cache instead of sending
- When this pattern is appropriate (vs. always-Push fallback)
Plus a short pointer in gateway/platforms/ADDING_A_PLATFORM.md so
tree-readers find the prose walkthrough on the docsite.
Filed because the LINE plugin (PR #23197) was the first bundled
adapter to need this pattern — every prior plugin (irc, teams,
google_chat) handles slow responses with the default typing-loop and
a regular send_text. Documenting now while the rationale is fresh.

- Restore allowed_chats gate before thread_id check so ignored_threads
applies universally (even to guest mentions).
- Compute _message_mentions_bot once in _should_process_message to
eliminate redundant second entity scan when guest_mode=true and the
message does not mention the bot.
- Remove redundant _is_group_chat from _is_guest_mention (caller already
verified the message is a group chat).
- Update _telegram_allowed_chats docstring to note guest_mode exception.
- Add test coverage: bot_command entity, text_mention entity,
caption_entities, and ignored_threads + guest_mode interaction.
- Add nik1t7n to AUTHOR_MAP.
Maps obafemiferanmi1999@gmail.com (the commit-author email used on
PR #21473's branch) to GitHub login KvnGz (the PR/branch owner) so
contributor_audit.py recognizes the authored commit in the upcoming
salvage PR.
Maps egitimviscara@gmail.com to GitHub login uzunkuyruk so that
contributor_audit.py recognizes their authored commits in upcoming
salvage PRs (e.g. #21933 fix).
Adds jhin.lee@unity3d.com → leehack so contributor_audit.py strict
mode passes when the salvage of #22053 (telegram DM topic reply
fallback) lands on main.
Windows Terminal captures Alt+Enter at the terminal layer (fullscreen
toggle), so documenting 'Alt+Enter or Ctrl+J' without qualification
leaves stock Windows Terminal users with no working newline key they
can discover from the docs alone.
- Main keybindings row: note Alt+Enter is intercepted on WT and direct
users to Ctrl+Enter / Ctrl+J instead.
- Shift+Enter compatibility table: split 'stock Windows Terminal' from
Windows Terminal Preview 1.25+ (which added Kitty protocol support
and works with the keybinding from this PR once enabled).
- Add AUTHOR_MAP entry for ra2157218@gmail.com -> Abd0r so the salvage
commit passes the email-mapping CI gate.
Closes the last Python-on-Windows UTF-8 exposure by making every
text-mode open() call explicit about its encoding.
Before: on Windows, bare open(path, 'r') defaults to the system
locale encoding (cp1252 on US-locale installs). That means reading
any config/yaml/markdown/json file with non-ASCII content either
crashes with UnicodeDecodeError or silently mis-decodes bytes.
After: all 89 affected call sites in production code now pass
encoding='utf-8' explicitly. Works identically on every platform
and every locale, no surprise behavior.
Mechanical sweep via:
ruff check --preview --extend-select PLW1514 --unsafe-fixes --fix --exclude 'tests,venv,.venv,node_modules,website,optional-skills, skills,tinker-atropos,plugins' .
All 89 fixes have the same shape: open(x) or open(x, mode) became
open(x, encoding='utf-8') or open(x, mode, encoding='utf-8'). Nothing
else changed. Every modified file still parses and the Windows/sandbox
test suite is still green (85 passed, 14 skipped, 0 failed across
tests/tools/test_code_execution_windows_env.py +
tests/tools/test_code_execution_modes.py + tests/tools/test_env_passthrough.py +
tests/test_hermes_bootstrap.py).
Scope notes:
- tests/ excluded: test fixtures can use locale encoding intentionally
(exercising edge cases). If we want to tighten tests later that's
a separate PR.
- plugins/ excluded: plugin-specific conventions may differ; plugin
authors own their code.
- optional-skills/ and skills/ excluded: skill scripts are user-authored
and we don't want to mass-edit them.
- website/ and tinker-atropos/ excluded: vendored / generated content.
46 files touched, 89 +/- lines (symmetric replacement). No behavior
change on POSIX or on Windows when the file is ASCII; bug fix on
Windows when the file contains non-ASCII.
Follow-up to #15328's vision-unsupported retry branch in run_agent.py.
_strip_images_from_messages() previously deleted any message whose content
was entirely images. That's fine for synthetic user messages injected for
attachment delivery, but it breaks providers for tool-role messages — the
paired tool_call_id on the preceding assistant message ends up unmatched,
which OpenAI-compatible APIs reject with HTTP 400.
Fix: tool-role messages whose content becomes empty are replaced with a
plaintext placeholder that preserves the tool_call_id linkage. Only
non-tool messages are dropped. Added 10 tests covering the role-alternation
invariants + image-type coverage.
Image-rejection detector: expanded phrase list (image content not
supported / multimodal input / vision input / model does not support
image) and gated on 4xx status so transient 5xx errors never get
misinterpreted as 'server said no to images'. Detection is documented as
best-effort English phrase matching.
AUTHOR_MAP: mapped 3820588+ddupont808@users.noreply.github.com to
ddupont808 so release notes attribute the salvage correctly.
The new _is_gateway_approval_context() widened the gateway classification
to any call with HERMES_SESSION_PLATFORM bound via contextvars. But
cron/scheduler.py binds that same contextvar for delivery routing on
cron jobs that originate from a gateway platform (telegram/discord/etc.),
so those jobs were getting routed through submit_pending with no
listener — blocking indefinitely instead of honoring approvals.cron_mode.
Short-circuit on HERMES_CRON_SESSION before any gateway check. Cron is
always governed by cron_mode config, regardless of where the job was
scheduled from.
Adds regression coverage in TestCronWithGatewayOrigin and records the
contributor email mapping for scripts/release.py.
Small follow-ups on top of #19643:
- check_auth() takes quiet kwarg to suppress its AUTHENTICATED print
when called from check_auth_live(), so the final status line reflects
the live-call outcome only.
- Drop redundant _ensure_deps() call in check_auth_live() (check_auth()
already calls it).
- Add AUTHOR_MAP entry for ygd58 so release attribution script works.
Weak judge models (e.g. deepseek-v4-flash) return empty strings or prose
when asked for the strict {done, reason} JSON verdict. The old code
failed-open to continue on every such turn, burning the entire turn
budget with log lines like
judge returned empty response
judge reply was not JSON: "Let me analyze whether the goal..."
and /goal clear could not stop it mid-loop without /stop.
After N=3 consecutive *parse* failures (transport/API errors don't
count — those are transient), the loop auto-pauses and prints:
⏸ Goal paused — the judge model (3 turns) isn't returning the
required JSON verdict. Route the judge to a stricter model in
~/.hermes/config.yaml:
auxiliary:
goal_judge:
provider: openrouter
model: google/gemini-3-flash-preview
Then /goal resume to continue.
The counter resets on any usable reply (both "done"/"continue" and
API errors) and persists across GoalManager reloads so cross-session
resumes carry the correct state.
Also fixes test_goal_verdict_send.py sharing a hardcoded session_id
across tests — the shared id only worked because the previous
_post_turn_goal_continuation was a never-awaited coroutine. Now that
PR #19160 made it properly awaited, the xdist test-leakage bug
surfaced. Each test gets a unique session_id via uuid suffix.
The existing mapping pointed to the wrong GitHub user (blakejohnson, id
866695, IBM) — the email actually belongs to voteblake (id 5585957),
confirmed via search/commits?author-email. Mis-credited since 323ca7084.
Both implement WebSearchProvider via tools/web_providers/ — matching the
existing SearXNG pattern (PR #5c906d702). Search-only; pair with any
extract provider via web.extract_backend.
- tools/web_providers/brave_free.py — Brave Search API (free tier, 2k
queries/mo). Uses BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY as X-Subscription-Token.
- tools/web_providers/ddgs.py — DuckDuckGo via the ddgs Python package.
No API key; gated on package importability.
- tools/web_tools.py: both backends added to _get_backend() config list
and auto-detect chain (trails paid providers), _is_backend_available,
web_search_tool dispatch, web_extract_tool + web_crawl_tool search-only
refusals, check_web_api_key, and the __main__ diagnostic. Introduces
_ddgs_package_importable() helper so tests can monkeypatch a single
symbol for the ddgs availability check.
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py: picker entries for both providers; ddgs
gets a post_setup handler that runs `pip install ddgs`.
- hermes_cli/config.py: BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY in OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS.
- scripts/release.py: AUTHOR_MAP entry for @Abd0r.
- tests: 14 new tests (brave-free) + 15 new tests (ddgs) covering
provider unit behavior, backend wiring, and search-only refusals.
Salvages the brave-free + ddgs portion of PR #19796. Not included: the
in-line helpers in web_tools.py (replaced with provider modules to match
the shipped architecture), the lynx-based extract path (these backends
should refuse extract with a clear error — users pair with a real
extract provider), and scripts/start-llama-server.sh (unrelated).

PR #21238 introduced top-level `allOf: [{if/then/required}]` blocks in the
built-in memory tool's parameters schema as conditional-required hints.
Two problems:
1. OpenAI's Codex backend (chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex, gpt-5.x) rejects
top-level `allOf`/`anyOf`/`oneOf`/`enum`/`not` outright with a
non-retryable 400 — affected every user on openai-codex/gpt-5.x.
2. The `if/then` hints were silently ignored by every other provider
(Chat Completions doesn't honour them on function schemas), so they
never actually enforced anything anywhere.
The runtime handler in `memory_tool()` already validates the per-action
required fields and returns actionable error messages, so removing the
block changes nothing behaviourally.
Paired with the defense-in-depth sanitizer in the previous commit, this
closes the bug both at the source (schema no longer emits the forbidden
form) and at the wire boundary (sanitizer strips it if anything else
re-introduces it).
- Rewrites `tests/tools/test_memory_tool_schema.py` to guard against
regressing the forbidden-combinator shape instead of asserting it.
- Adds AUTHOR_MAP entry for @hrkzogw (author of the sanitizer fix).
Lists the skills sitting in ~/.hermes/skills/.archive/ so users have
something to pass to `hermes curator restore`. `curator status` already
shows counts; this fills the name-discovery gap.
Archive layout is flat (`archive_skill` writes to `.archive/<skill>/`),
so the directory name IS the skill name — no frontmatter parsing
needed. Timestamped collision directories (`<skill>-<ts>`) are listed
literally; user can still pass them to `restore`.
Reshape of @EvilDrag0n's #20651, simplified: drop the frontmatter
rglob + preamble/trailer output + duplicate subcommand registration.

The MCP SDK discovers OAuth server metadata (token_endpoint, etc.) on
demand and keeps it in memory only. Without disk persistence, a restart
with valid cached refresh tokens forces the SDK to fall back to the
guessed '{server_url}/token' path — which returns 404 on most real
providers (Notion, Atlassian, GitHub remote MCP, etc.) and triggers a
full browser re-authorization even though the refresh token is fine.
Add a .meta.json file next to the existing tokens/client_info files:
HERMES_HOME/mcp-tokens/<server>.json -- tokens (existing)
HERMES_HOME/mcp-tokens/<server>.client.json -- client info (existing)
HERMES_HOME/mcp-tokens/<server>.meta.json -- oauth metadata (new)
Changes:
- HermesTokenStorage.save_oauth_metadata / load_oauth_metadata / _meta_path
— disk layer for the discovered OAuthMetadata.
- HermesTokenStorage.remove() now also clears .meta.json so
'hermes mcp remove <name>' and the manager's remove() path clean up fully.
- HermesMCPOAuthProvider._initialize cold-restores from disk before the
existing pre-flight discovery runs. If disk has metadata we skip the
discovery HTTP round-trips entirely.
- HermesMCPOAuthProvider._prefetch_oauth_metadata now persists ASM as
soon as it's discovered, so even the first pre-flight run seeds disk.
- HermesMCPOAuthProvider._persist_oauth_metadata_if_changed() is called
at the end of async_auth_flow so metadata discovered via the SDK's
lazy 401-branch (not pre-flight) is also saved for next time.
Tests cover the storage roundtrip (save/load/missing/corrupt/remove) and
the manager provider path (cold-load restore, skip-when-in-memory,
persist-on-discover, noop-when-unchanged, end-to-end async_auth_flow).

Follow-up on top of @kyan12's PR #20888 — same feature, cleaner shape,
wider coverage.
Changes:
- Drop the synthetic '[System note: ...]' in the internal MessageEvent.
The existing _is_resume_pending branch in _handle_message_with_agent
(run.py ~L13738) already injects a reason-aware recovery system note
on the next turn. With kyan's text in place the model saw two stacked
system notes. Now the event text is empty and the existing injection
path owns the wording.
- Drop SessionStore.list_resume_pending() as a new public method. The
filter is 8 lines inline in _schedule_resume_pending_sessions() —
one caller, no other pluggability need.
- Add 'restart_interrupted' to the auto-resume reason set. That's the
reason SessionStore.suspend_recently_active() stamps on sessions
recovered from a crash/OOM/SIGKILL (no .clean_shutdown marker).
Previously those sessions had to wait for a real user message to
auto-resume; now they continue automatically at startup like
drain-timeout interruptions do.
- Reasons live in a _AUTO_RESUME_REASONS frozenset at class scope so
future reasons (e.g. 'manual_resume_request') can be opted in with
one line.
Test coverage added:
- drain-timeout + crash-recovery both scheduled
- stale entries skipped (outside freshness window)
- suspended entries skipped (suspended > resume_pending)
- originless entries skipped (no routing target)
- disallowed reasons skipped (graceful forward-compat)
E2E verified end-to-end with a real on-disk SessionStore: 2 eligible
sessions scheduled, 2 ineligible skipped, empty-text internal events
delivered to the adapter.

When display.cleanup_progress (or display.platforms.<plat>.cleanup_progress)
is true, the gateway deletes tool-progress bubbles, long-running '⏳ Still
working...' notices, and status-callback messages after the final response
is delivered successfully. Currently effective on adapters that implement
delete_message (Telegram); silently no-ops elsewhere. Off by default.
Failed runs skip cleanup so bubbles stay as breadcrumbs.
Minimal plumbing: base.py's existing post_delivery_callback slot now chains
new registrations onto any existing callback (with per-callback exception
isolation) rather than clobbering. Stale-generation registrations are
rejected so they can't step on a fresher run's callbacks. This lets the
cleanup callback coexist with the background-review release hook already
registered on the same slot.

- Remove dead metadata.get('reply_to') fallback in _send_raw_message;
nothing in the codebase ever sets 'reply_to' inside a metadata dict —
the key only appears as a top-level send_voice() keyword argument
- Simplify _status_thread_metadata construction in run.py to use a
single dict literal instead of create-then-mutate pattern; the
or-{} guard was dead since source.thread_id implies _progress_thread_id
is also set for Feishu
- Add yuqian@zmetasoft.com to AUTHOR_MAP for contributor attribution
